First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an image, wherein the image comprises at least one building;
extracting building texture features from the image;
receiving reference building texture features;
determining, using a processor, building texture features comparisons between building texture features and reference building texture features which satisfy a predetermined match threshold; and
determining a matching building location based upon the building texture features comparisons.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for determining a building location based on a building image. In the context of a method, the method includes receiving an image including at least one building, extracting building texture features from the image, and receiving reference building texture features. The method also includes determining, using a processor, building texture features comparisons between building texture features and reference building texture features which satisfy a predetermined match threshold and determining a matching building location based upon the building texture features comparision.
