Multi-Sensor Navigation Algorithm Using Monocular Camera, IMU and GPS for Large Scale Augmented Reality
Camera tracking system for augmented reality applications that can operate both indoors and outdoors is described. The system uses a monocular camera, a MEMS-type inertial measurement unit (IMU) with 3-axis gyroscopes and accelerometers, and GPS unit to accurately and robustly track the camera motion in 6 degrees of freedom (with correct scale) in arbitrary indoor…
