Given a cell phone image of a building we address the problem of place-of-interest recognition in urban scenarios. Here, we go beyond what has been shown in earlier approaches by exploiting the nowadays often available 3D building information (e.g. from extruded floor plans) and massive street-level image data for database creation. Exploiting vanishing points in query images and thus fully removing 3D rotation from the recognition problem allows then to simplify the feature invariance to a purely homothetic problem, which we show enables more discriminative power in feature descriptors than classical SIFT. We rerank visual word based document queries using a fast stratified homothetic verification that in most cases boosts the correct document to top positions if it was in the short list. Since we exploit 3D building information, the approach finally outputs the camera pose in real world coordinates ready for augmenting the cell phone image with virtual 3D information. The whole system is demonstrated to outperform traditional approaches on city scale experiments for different sources of street-level image data and a challenging set of cell phone images.
