Improve Alignment Thoughts

Tom Fletcher edited this page Nov 19, 2017 · 1 revision

Ways to possibly get better Alignment:

  • Use compass as an input to help calculate alignment or bias.
  • Discard obviously incorrect GPS.
  • Throw away AR points when tracking is lost? Does ARCore / ARKit support recovery if it encounters a previously seen place?
  • Use more than the latest pair of AR / GPS to calculate the alignment?
  • Kalman filter "prediction" while moving, to take account of movement (same as previous point?).
  • Altitude intersect with terrain or buildings to guess altitude?
  • Image analysis (edge detection?) to detect horizon (& buildings?) from camera image and match so that it lines up better.
  • Use point cloud from previous sessions / other devices?
  • Better combination of all above inputs to an alignment than the current single-value "bias". Machine learning?
