This thesis is concerned with the automatic altitude estimation from a single landscape photograph. I solved this task using convolutional neural networks. There was no suitable training dataset available having information about image altitude, thus I had to create a new one. To estimate human performance in altitude estimation task, an experiment was conducted counting 100 subjects. The goal of this experiment was to measure the accuracy of the human estimate of camera altitude from an image. The measured average estimation error of subjects was 879 m. An automatic system based on convolutional neural networks outperforms humans with an average elevation error 712 m. The proposed system can be used in more complex scenario like the visual camera geo-localization. |
