我們參考了以影像做定位的一些研究，並在近幾年智慧型手機普及的基礎上，實作了一套以Android手機為運行環境，透過手機內建的相機進行即時影像分析，並融合手機中感測元件做姿態分析，完成實際可運行的定位系統，此系統的特色是不需要使用任何輔助裝置，可單獨在手機運行，環境建制費用極低，且可非常容易部署至一般消費者的智慧型手機上，實驗結果證明我們的定位系統在小範圍以及中範圍應用中提供優於GPS的定位精確度；在大範圍應用中，我們的系統也能夠提供足夠的精確度做為適地性服務及擴增實境領域的定位 。 We implemented a visual-based positioning system on the Android-based smartphone. This system uses only build-in camera and sensors in an Android phone. The system works with no other assisted equipments, so it is low-cost and very easy to deploy to consumers with a mobile device. In addition, we conducted small, median, and large-scale field experiments to examine the accuracy and stability of our system. The results indicate that our visual-based positioning system is able to provide a much better accuracy in small and median-scale experiments compared with the global positioning system. In large-scale experiments, the system is able to provide enough accuracy for applications such as virtual augmentations and location-based services.
