Cover Story: Historical visual sources are essential records of the successive states of a territory over time, which makes it possible to retrace its evolution. For this purpose, a first step is to find out which area of the territory is covered by each source. However, this can be difficult if they are poorly documented. Leveraging the visual content of images to compare them with current geographical reference datasets is a common solution to identify which areas they correspond to. In practice, the various choices of map legends and the evolution of landscapes over time for all the historical sources generate heterogeneous visual contents, even for sources representing the same area. Taking advantage of the relative locations and properties of the geographical features represented on the historical visual sources is a promising way to better characterize and identify the represented area. View this paper
