| Abstract(in English) | We propose a new pedestrian location method that exploits only a human-borne camera and runs on line. Pedestrian localization is an essential technology for pedestrian walking navigation. Unfortunately, commonly used GPS is not available, or unreliable in underground shopping mall, indoor paths, and urban streets with tall buildings. Our proposed method can estimate current position only by one image of the first person vision camera, assuming that a video that is taken by walking through the same path is given to our system in advance. As a first person camera is mounted on a body of a pedestrian, images taken by this camera always have weaving motion and obstacles such as other pedestrians. The proposed method adopts SURF based general image retrieval, but it exploits some conditions that are specific to first person vision camera so that it can produce reliable localization results. We take up one of the typical and difficult paths for experiment and evaluation; a path that starts from underground level of Tokyo station area to the ground level where tall buildings cover the sky. The result shows the proposed method can work well even in urban areas like there. |
