Video based Navigation

Li Bai, Yan Wang, The University of Nottingham

 

The aim of the project is to develop a system that will allow the driver to view a virtual sign (yellow arrow) on the road, in front of the car, in the video captured by a camera, or through a HMD so the driver can travel to the destination by following the virtual sign. This new generation of video based navigation systems are for those who find traditional 2D map based navigation systems difficult to use - you can read a map, only can't find the way. 

 1. Vision - Where is the road?

 

2. GPS - Where am I?

2. GPS+INS - Inertial sensor to correct GPS errors

 

4. Map Matching – GPS to GIS

5. Route planning - Where to go next?
