A device may receive images identifying interiors of buildings and movable objects and unmovable objects located in the interiors, and may train a machine learning model with the images to generate a trained machine learning model. The device may receive an image identifying an interior portion of a building and objects located in the interior portion, and may process the image, with the trained machine learning model, to identify a movable object and an unmovable object. The device may disregard the movable object to generate an image in which data identifying the movable object has been disregarded, and may process the image in which the data identifying the movable object has been disregarded, with a visual positioning system, to determine a location of the user device in the interior portion of the building. The device may perform one or more actions based on the location of the user device.

Systems and methods for aiding a visual positioning system with indoor wayfinding

A device may receive, from a vehicle device, a geographical (e.g., GNSS) location of a vehicle, and may utilize the GNSS location as a determined location of the vehicle when the GNSS location satisfies a first threshold. The device may receive, from the vehicle device, an image identifying reference points associated with the vehicle, and may process the image, with a VPS, to calculate a VPS location of the vehicle. The device may utilize the GNSS location of the vehicle as the determined location when the VPS location fails to satisfy a second threshold, and may calculate, when the VPS location of the vehicle satisfies the second threshold, coordinate sets based on groups of coordinate combinations from the GNSS location and the VPS location. The device may process the coordinate sets, with a model, to determine the determined location, and may perform actions based on the determined location.
