Abstract: This paper presents a visual geo-localization system capable of determining the geographic locations of places (buildings and road intersections) from images without relying on GPS data. Our approach integrates three primary methods: Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) for place recognition, traditional image processing for identifying road junction types, and deep learning using the VGG16 model for classifying road junctions. The most effective techniques have been integrated into an offline mobile application, enhancing accessibility for users requiring reliable location information in GPS-denied environments.
