Abstract
An apparatus and method for estimating a position of a mobile device based on one or more images is disclosed. Positioning information is derived from an image containing an SAS (self-addressing source such as a QR code), thereby setting a first vector Vand an SAS pose. The image is also used to determine a displacement between the mobile device and the self-addressing source, thereby setting a second vector V. Using the first vector V, the SAS pose and the second vector V, the mobile device may estimate its position with high accuracy and may also recalibrate dead-reckoning navigation and a gyrometer.
