A first map comprising local features and 3D locations of the local features is generated, the local features comprising visible features in a current image and a corresponding set of covisible features. A second map comprising prior features and 3D locations of the prior features may be determined, where each prior feature: was first imaged at a time prior to the first imaging of any of the local features, and lies within a threshold distance of at least one local feature. A first subset comprising previously imaged local features in the first map and a corresponding second subset of the prior features in the second map is determined by comparing the first and second maps, where each local feature in the first subset corresponds to a distinct prior feature in the second subset. A transformation mapping a subset of local features to a subset of prior features is determined.
