Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method performed by a computerized device, comprising:
- receiving a first sequence of kinematic values related to a route of an image appearing in captured pictures;
receiving a second sequence of kinematic values related to a series of readings from at least one inertial sensor received from a mobile device;
determining a matching measure between the first sequence of kinematic values and the second sequence of kinematic values; and
associating an identifier associated with the mobile device with a location determined from the captured pictures.
