Architectural floor plans are widely available priors which contain not only geometry but also the semantic information of the environment, yet existing localization methods largely ignore this semantic information. To address this, we present COMPASS, an algorithm that exploits both geometric and semantic priors from floor plans to estimate the pose of a robot equipped with dual fisheye cameras. Inspired by scan context descriptor from LiDAR-based place recognition, we design a multi-channel radial descriptor that encodes the geometric layout surrounding a position. From the floor plan, rays are cast in 360 azimuth bins and the results are encoded into five channels: normalized range, structural hit type (wall, window, or opening), range gradient, inverse range, and local range variance. From the image side, the same descriptor structure is populated by detecting structural elements in the fisheye imagery. As a first step toward full cross-modal matching, we present a window detection algorithm for fisheye images that uses a line segment detector to identify window frames via vertical edge clustering and brightness verification. Detected windows are projected to azimuthal bearings through the fisheye camera model, producing the hit-type channel of the visual descriptor. As a proof of concept, we generate both descriptors at a single known pose from the Hilti-Trimble SLAM Challenge 2026 dataset and demonstrate that the wall-window pattern extracted from the first frame of each camera closely matches the floor plan descriptor, validating the feasibility of cross-modal structural matching.
