Speaking of Google Image search, Google actually did a pretty nice arts and culture project on this a while ago: https://artsandculture.google.com/project/street-art

I wonder if you could use their provided StreetView to generate a bunch of perspective views for the same artwork... or if computing a view from another angle could be a way to fuzz your existing training set to generate more examples.

You are one step ahead of me.

I want to try and map out street art in cities by using the landmark points in the background of images. Theres a few neat datasets that do landmark -> geodata translation, but as expected, its limited.

That being said, I can imagine in a very near future, it will be possible to train against google maps and get enough "landmarks" to geolocalize images.
