Abstract
Methods for image based localization using an electronic computing device are presented, the methods including: capturing a local image with an image capture device; associating metadata with the local image; causing the electronic computing device to receive the local image; causing the electronic computing device to match the local image with a database image, where the database image is three-dimensional (3D); and calculating a pose of the image capture device based on a pose of the database image and metadata associated with the local image. In some embodiments, the metadata includes at least pitch and roll data corresponding with the image capture device at a time of image capture.
Claims20
A method for image based localization using an electronic computing device, the method comprising:
- capturing a local image with an image capture device;
- associating metadata with the local image;
- causing the electronic computing device to receive the local image;
- causing the electronic computing device to match the local image with at least one database image, wherein the at least one database image is three-dimensional (3D);
- and
- calculating a pose of the image capture device based on a pose of the at least one database image and metadata associated with the local image.
A method for image based localization using an electronic computing device, the method comprising:
- causing the electronic computing device to receive a local image captured from an image capture device;
- causing the electronic computing device to receive metadata associated with the local image;
- causing the electronic computing device to match the local image with at least one database image, wherein the at least one database image is 3D;
- and
- calculating a pose of the image capture device based on a pose of the at least one database image and metadata associated with the local image.
A computing device program product for image based localization using a computing device, the computing device program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium;
- first programmatic instructions for receiving a local image captured from an image capture device;
- second programmatic instructions for receiving metadata associated with the local image;
- third programmatic instructions for matching the local image with at least one database image, wherein the at least one database image is 3D;
- and
- fourth programmatic instructions for calculating a pose of the image capture device based on a pose of the at least one database image and metadata associated with the local image.
