This paper presents a novel localisation framework based on an omnidirectional camera, targeted at outdoor urban environments. Bearing only information to persistent and easily observable high-level semantic landmarks (such as lamp-posts, street-signs and trees) are perceived using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The framework utilises an information theoretic strategy to decide the best vie...
