System and method for converging mediated reality positioning data and geographic positioning data

A system for converging mediated reality (MR) positioning data from an MR device and geographic positioning data from a geographic receiver, the system comprising one or more processors and data storage memory in communication with the one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to execute:

• a receiver module to receive three or more geographic coordinate points, the geographic coordinate points each associated with different points in time;
• an MR module to receive three or more MR coordinate points, each of the MR coordinate points associated with one of the points in time associated with one of the geographic coordinate points;
• a positioning module to determine a geographic trend line from the geographic coordinate points, determine an MR trend line from the MR coordinate points;
• and
• a correction module to determine a correction angle as an angle between the geographic trend line and the MR trend line and output the correction angle.

A mediated reality (MR) device comprising a processor, a memory, a geographic receiver, a display, and a camera, the processor configured to execute:

• a receiver module to receive three or more geographic coordinate points from the geographic receiver, the geographic coordinate points each associated with different points in time;
• an MR module to determine three or more MR coordinate points using images received from the camera each of the MR coordinate points associated with one of the points in time;
• a positioning module to determine a geographic trend line from the geographic coordinate points, determine an MR trend line from the MR coordinate points;
• and
• a correction module to determine a correction angle as an angle between the geographic trend line and the MR trend line and output the correction angle.
