Figure 2: Images downloaded form the the <strong>Internet</strong> by searching for “Statue of Liberty”,<br />

which do not represent the Statue of Liberty in New York.<br />

for salient feature points to neighboring views. In the case of video these<br />

correspondences are determined through KLT-tracking on the GPU<br />

with simultaneous estimation of the camera gain (Section 4.1.1). For<br />

<strong>Internet</strong> photo collections our system first establishes a spatial neighborhood<br />

relationship for each image through a clustering of single image<br />

descriptors, which effectively clusters close viewpoints. The feature<br />

points used are the SIFT features [58] due to their enhanced invariance<br />

to larger viewpoint changes (Section 4.1).<br />

• Camera pose/motion estimation <strong>from</strong> local correspondences is robustly<br />

performed through an efficient RANSAC technique called ARRSAC<br />

(Section 4.1.2). It determines the inlier correspondences <strong>and</strong> the camera<br />

position with respect to the previous image <strong>and</strong> the known model.<br />
