Abstract
We propose a method for automated detection and
geolocation of roadside objects from street-level images by leveraging historical records of these objects. Such partial and/or noisy
geo-records are often held by infrastructure owners and require
frequent updating. We aim to reduce the amount of imagelevel supervision required for the deployment of deep learning
methods to geolocation problem from segmentation masks (very
costly) to binary image labels (lower cost). Our proposed method
integrates an image classification deep learning pipeline with
Grad-CAMs and watershed transform to identify the positions
of roadside objects of interest in the images. The geolocation
is performed by deploying the existing Markov Random Fieldbased optimization module. We analyze the robustness of the
proposed low-supervision geolocation model to noisy records. We
report experiments for the detection of traffic lights and public
bins, with geolocation of the latter performed in central Dublin.
