To provide high quality augmented reality service in a car navigation system,
accurate 6DoF localization is required. To ensure such accuracy, most of
current vision-based solutions rely on an off-line large scale modeling of
the environment. Nevertheless, while existing solutions require expensive
equipments and/or a prohibitive computation time, we propose in this paper a
complete framework that automatically builds an accurate city scale database
using only a standard camera, a GPS and Geographic Information System (GIS).
As illustrated in the experiments, only few minutes are required to model
large scale environments. The resulting databases can then be used during a
localization algorithm for high quality Augmented Reality experiences.
