TOL: Textual Localization with OpenStreetMap

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.01644v1 Announce Type: new Natural language provides an intuitive way to express spatial intent in geospatial applications. While existing localization methods often rely on dense point cloud maps or high-resolution imagery, OpenStreetMap (OSM) offers a compact and freely available map representation that encodes rich semantic and structural information, making it well suited for large-scale localization. However, text-to-OSM (T2O) localization remains largely unexplored.
