Abstract
A computer-implemented method and apparatus for determining location, the method comprising: receiving a first sequence of kinematic values related to a route of an image appearing in captured pictures; receiving a second sequence of kinematic values related to a series of readings from at least one inertial sensor received from a mobile device; determining a matching measure between the first sequence of kinematic values and the second sequence of kinematic values; and associating an identifier associated with the mobile device with a location determined from the captured pictures.
Claims28
A computer-implemented method performed by a computerized device, comprising:
- receiving a first sequence of kinematic values related to a route of an image appearing in captured pictures;
- receiving a second sequence of kinematic values related to a series of readings from at least one inertial sensor received from a mobile device;
- determining a matching measure between the first sequence of kinematic values and the second sequence of kinematic values;
- and
- associating an identifier associated with the mobile device with a location determined from the captured pictures.
A computer-implemented method performed by a computerized device, comprising:
- receiving spatial data from a mobile device;
- receiving a mapping between locations and earlier collected spatial data;
- and
- based on the spatial data and on mapping between locations and earlier spatial data, associating the spatial data with a location,
- wherein the mapping is created using a combination of a first sequence of kinematic values related to a route of an image appearing in captured pictures and a second sequence of kinematic values related to a series of readings of at least inertial sensor received from a mobile device.
An apparatus having a processing unit and a storage device, the apparatus comprising a server platform, the apparatus comprising:
- a first kinematic value sequence receiving for receiving a first sequence of kinematic values related to a route of an image appearing in captured pictures;
- a second kinematic value sequence receiving for receiving a second sequence of kinematic values related to a series of readings from at least one inertial sensor received from a mobile device carried by a user;
- a sequence matching component for determining a matching measure between the first sequence of kinematic values and the second sequence of kinematic values;
- and
- an identifier and location association component for association the mobile device with a location obtained from the captured pictures.
A computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium;
- a first program instruction for receiving a first sequence of kinematic values related to a route of an image appearing in captured pictures;
- a second program instruction for receiving a second sequence of kinematic values related to a series of readings from at least one inertial sensor received from a mobile device;
- and
- a third program instruction for determining a matching measure between the first sequence of kinematic values and the second sequence of kinematic values;
- and
- a fourth program instruction for associating an identifier of the mobile device with a location determined from the captured pictures,
- wherein said first, second, third and fourth program instructions are stored on said non-transitory computer readable medium.
