Imaging-Based Positioning and Tracking Technologies in Mobile Devices (DEAL 607)

This lot is generally related to various techniques to determine a mobile device’s position by capturing an image of a location-encoded mark, capturing an image of a fixed pixel pattern, and using color characteristics of images to refine the device’s location with high accuracy and determine location in obstructed environments. Further disclosed are techniques to track objects or people by comparing their color characteristics across images. The technology may be implemented in indoor navigation systems, augmented reality applications, smart retail systems, context-aware security systems, location-based retail promotion systems, surveillance systems, vehicle tracking systems, etc.
