| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we aim to realize indoor pedestrian navigation only with a smartphone even in the facilities without indoor maps and positioning infrastructures. Taking a picture of a floormap within an information board, which is posed for humans, with a smartphone, and it is analyzed to create a digitized map on the spot. The indoor pedestrian navigation can be realized by using the improvisational digitized map and the pedestrian dead reckoning. We developed a method to analyze a floormap image and a method to perform map matching using a map with unknown scale and orientation. We implemented the method on smartphones, and confirmed that the proposed framework can be worked in actual environments.
