Abstract

Implementations relate to a computer-implemented method and a device for determining a relative posed between devices. The method can include receiving data representing first keypoint features from a first image captured by a camera of a second mobile computing device; capturing, by a camera of a first mobile computing device, a second image, wherein the first image and the second image comprise a substantially common scene having an area of overlap; computing, by the first mobile computing device, data representing second keypoint features from the second image; determining, by the first mobile computing device, based at least in part on the data representing first keypoint features and the data representing second keypoint features, a relative pose of the first mobile computing device and the second mobile computing device; and communicating the relative pose to the second mobile computing device.
