Patent Images

1. A method of image-based positioning comprising:

  • (A) performing an image-capture of a scene by using an image capturing device;

    wherein a set of captured images data and a set of scene depth data is created;

    (B) performing a rigid global transformation of said set of captured images data and said set of scene depth data into a set of 6-coordinate data;

    wherein said set of 6-coordinate data represents movement of said image capturing device;

    and(C) determining the position coordinates of said image capturing device by using an image processing algorithm;

    said image processing algorithm including a global optical flow;

    said image processing algorithm including at least one step of parametrizing said global optical flow with said image capturing device.
