Abstract
A method for improved position estimation. The method includes: receiving first position information from a first GNSS receiver of a vehicle dashboard camera, receiving second position information from a second GNSS receiver of a mobile device carried by a user and proximate the first GNSS receiver, and, when it is determined that the vehicle dashboard camera and the mobile device share the same inertial reference frame and are within the first distance and that the accuracy of either the first position information or the second position information falls beneath the threshold and that the predicted course of either the vehicle dashboard camera and the mobile device is calculated to pass through the region of poor satellite reception, time synchronizing the second position information with the first position information, and combining the first position information with the second position information to determine third position information.
