Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects presented herein may enable a UE to improve (e.g., reduce) the convergence time for vision-aided positioning by enabling the UE to use images embedded with location information. In one aspect, a UE receives, from a reference device, a server, or a map, a list of visual features and a location for each visual feature in the list of visual features. The UE identifies at least one visual feature in an area via at least one camera, where the at least one visual feature is included in the list of visual features, where the area is within a threshold distance of the UE. The UE estimates a position of the UE based on the identified at least one visual feature in the area and the location corresponding to the at least one visual feature.
