An Image-Based System for Urban Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the prototype of a system intended to allow a user to navigate in an urban environment using a mobile telephone equipped with a camera. The system uses a database of views of building facades to determine the pose of a query view provided by the user. Our method is based on a novel wide-baseline matching algorithm that can identify corresponding building facades in two views despite significant changes of viewpoint and lighting. We show that our system is capable of localising query views reliably in a large part of Cambridge city centre.

متن کاملGPS/INS Integration for Vehicle Navigation based on INS Error Analysis in Kalman Filtering
The Global Positioning System (GPS) and an Inertial Navigation System (INS) are two basic navigation systems. Due to their complementary characters in many aspects, a GPS/INS integrated navigation system has been a hot research topic in the recent decade. The Micro Electrical Mechanical Sensors (MEMS) successfully solved the problems of price, size and weight with the traditional INS. Therefore...
متن کاملGPS Jamming Detection in UAV Navigation Using Visual Odometry and HOD Trajectory Descriptor
Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...
متن کاملIntegration Scheme for SINS/GPS System Based on Vertical Channel Decomposition and In-Motion Alignment
Accurate alignment and vertical channel instability play an important role in the strap-down inertial navigation system (SINS), especially in the case that precise navigation has to be achieved over long periods of time. Due to poor initialization as well as the cumulative errors of low-cost inertial measurement units (IMUs), initial alignment is not sufficient to achieve required navigation ac...

متن کاملMap-Based Precision Vehicle Localization in Urban Environments
Many urban navigation applications (e.g., autonomous navigation, driver assistance systems) can benefit greatly from localization with centimeter accuracy. Yet such accuracy cannot be achieved reliably with GPS-based inertial guidance systems, specifically in urban settings. We propose a technique for high-accuracy localization of moving vehicles that utilizes maps of urban environments. Our ap...
