Keypoints of the current image and the map image are detected and  described using the SIFT algorithm. This is followed by a matching  process, that identifies corresponding keypoints between both  images. These matches allow for finding a homography between both  images. For determining the $x, y$-position of the current image, the  center of it is projected on the reference image using the homography  matrix. The pixel position of the center in the reference image can be  used to determine the real world position by transforming the pixel  coordinates to real-world coordinates, based on the scale factors  $C_x$ and $C_y$, with $C_x = \frac{width(R)}{width(I)}$ and  $C_y = \frac{height(R)}{height(I)}$, where $W$ is the real-world  representation and $I$ the digital pixel image. This yields a dataset  of images, labeled with $x, y$ coordinates and the number of  matches. This process already introduces noise into the dataset, since  SIFT can have wrong and inaccurate matches.
