RHO: Robust Holistic OSM-Based Metric Cross-View Geo-Localization

ArXi:2603.27758v1 Announce Type: new Metric Cross-View Geo-Localization (MCVGL) aims to estimate the 3-DoF camera pose (position and heading) by matching ground and satellite images. In this work, instead of pinhole and satellite images, we study robust MCVGL using holistic panoramas and OpenStreetMap (OSM). To this end, we establish a large-scale MCVGL benchmark dataset, CV-RHO, with over 2.7M images under different weather and lighting conditions, as well as sensor noise. Furthermore, we propose a model termed RHO with a two-branch Pin-Pan architecture for accurate visual localization.
