Visual Localization Method, Terminal, And Server - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338846 titled 'Visual Localization Method, Terminal, And Server
The abstract of the patent application describes a method for visual localization using a terminal device to obtain an image of a building, generate a descriptor based on the image, and match it in a database to obtain localization information of the photographing place.
- Terminal device obtains an image of a building
- Descriptor is generated based on the image, including information about horizontal viewing angles between vertical feature lines
- Matching is performed in a preset descriptor database to obtain localization information of the photographing place
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality navigation systems - Location-based services for tourists - Real estate property identification
Problems Solved: - Accurate localization of photographing places - Efficient matching of image descriptors - Improved user experience in visual localization applications
Benefits: - Enhanced accuracy in determining photographing locations - Streamlined process for matching image descriptors - Increased usability of visual localization technology
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Visual Localization Technology for Navigation Systems" This technology can be utilized in augmented reality navigation apps, real estate property identification tools, and location-based services for tourists, offering improved accuracy and efficiency in visual localization.
Questions about Visual Localization Technology: 1. How does this method improve the accuracy of determining photographing places? - The method uses descriptors based on image features to accurately match and localize photographing places. 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this visual localization technology? - The technology can be applied in augmented reality navigation systems, real estate property identification tools, and location-based services for tourists.
Original Abstract Submitted
the disclosure provides example visual localization methods and devices. one method includes that a terminal device obtains an image of a building. the terminal device generates a descriptor based on the image. the descriptor includes information about a horizontal viewing angle between a first vertical feature line and a second vertical feature line in the image. the first vertical feature line indicates a first facade intersection line of the building, and the second vertical feature line indicates a second facade intersection line of the building. the terminal device performs matching in a preset descriptor database based on the descriptor, to obtain localization information of a photographing place of the image.
