Abstract
We present a new scheme for partitioning geo-tagged reference image database in an effort to speed up (query) image localization while maintaining acceptable localization accuracy. Our method learns a topic model over the reference database, which in turn is used to divide the reference database into scene groups. Each scene group consists of “visually similar” images as determined by the topic model. Next raw Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) features are collected from every image in a scene group a Fast Library for Approximate Nearest Neightbours (FLANN) index is constructed. Given a query image, first its scene group is determined using the topic model and then its SIFT features are matched against the corresponding FLANN index. The query image is localized using the location information from the visually similar images in the reference database. We evaluate our approach on Google Map Street View dataset and demonstrate that our method outperforms a competing technique.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
