Abstract

An example method may include receiving a set of images associated with a real-world environment, receiving first positional measurements generated at or near a time that a first subset of the set of images are captured by an image capture device at a first location, the first positional measurements indicating a position relative to positioning signals provided by one or more anchor systems that are positioned in different locations in the real-world environment, the one or more anchor systems being separate and external from the image capture device that captured at least the subset of images, and generating a navigational model of the real-world environment using the first positional measurements associated with different subsets of the set of images to increase accuracy of the model of the real-world environment.

Claims (30)

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions, the executable instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving a set of images associated with a real-world environment;

receiving first positional measurements generated at or near a time that a first subset of the set of images are captured by an image capture device at a first location, the first positional measurements indicating a position relative to positioning signals provided by one or more anchor systems that are positioned in different locations in the real-world environment, the one or more anchor systems being separate and external from the image capture device that captured at least the subset of images; and

generating a navigational model of the real-world environment using the first positional measurements associated with different subsets of the set of images to increase accuracy of the model of the real-world environment.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more anchor systems provide UWB signals as the first positioning signals.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more anchor systems include at least three anchor systems that provide the first positioning signals.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the set of images includes a second subset of images captured by the image capture device at a second location, the second subset of images being taken by the image capture device of the real-world environment, the first subset of images being a different portion of the real-world environment relative to the second subset of images, and generating the navigational model comprises using the first positional measurements associated with both the first subset of images and the second subset of images.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 4 , further comprising receiving second positional measurements generated at or near a time that the second subset of the set of images are captured by the image capture device at the second location, the second positional measurements indicating a second position relative to positioning signals provided by the one or more anchor systems.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the positional measurements are based on positioning signals received from the image captured device by the one or more anchor systems, each of the one or more anchor system determining an angle of arrival based on the positioning signals.

7 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein for each anchor system of the one or more anchor systems, the angle of arrival is based on a position of a plurality of antennas that receive the positioning signals, each anchor system including a different plurality of antennas in a fixed position relative to each other for thar particular anchor system.

8 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the positional measurements are based on positioning signals received from the image captured device by the one or more anchor systems, each of the one or more anchor system determining a vector directed to the image capture device based on the positioning signals.

9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the positional measurements are based on positioning signals received from the anchor systems by the image capture device, each of the one or more anchor system determining an angle of arrival based on the positioning signals.

10 . A method comprising:

receiving a set of images associated with a real-world environment;

receiving first positional measurements generated at or near a time that a first subset of the set of images are captured by an image capture device at a first location, the first positional measurements indicating a position relative to positioning signals provided by one or more anchor systems that are positioned in different locations in the real-world environment, the one or more anchor systems being separate and external from the image capture device that captured at least the subset of images; and

generating a navigational model of the real-world environment using the first positional measurements associated with different subsets of the set of images to increase accuracy of the model of the real-world environment.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more anchor systems provide UWB signals as the first positioning signals.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more anchor systems include at least three anchor systems that provide the first positioning signals.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the set of images includes a second subset of images captured by the image capture device at a second location, the second subset of images being taken by the image capture device of the real-world environment, the first subset of images being a different portion of the real-world environment relative to the second subset of images, and generating the navigational model comprises using the first positional measurements associated with both the first subset of images and the second subset of images.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising receiving second positional measurements generated at or near a time that the second subset of the set of images are captured by the image capture device at the second location, the second positional measurements indicating a second position relative to positioning signals provided by the one or more anchor systems.

15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the positional measurements are based on positioning signals received from the image captured device by the one or more anchor systems, each of the one or more anchor system determining an angle of arrival based on the positioning signals.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein for each anchor system of the one or more anchor systems, the angle of arrival is based on a position of a plurality of antennas that receive the positioning signals, each anchor system including a different plurality of antennas in a fixed position relative to each other for thar particular anchor system.

17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the positional measurements are based on positioning signals received from the image captured device by the one or more anchor systems, each of the one or more anchor system determining a vector directed to the image capture device based on the positioning signals.

18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the positional measurements are based on positioning signals received from the anchor systems by the image capture device, each of the one or more anchor system determining an angle of arrival based on the positioning signals.

19 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

memory, the memory containing instructions to control the at least one processor to:

receive a set of images associated with a real-world environment;

receive first positional measurements generated at or near a time that a first subset of the set of images are captured by an image capture device at a first location, the first positional measurements indicating a position relative to positioning signals provided by one or more anchor systems that are positioned in different locations in the real-world environment, the one or more anchor systems being separate and external from the image capture device that captured at least the subset of images; and

generate a navigational model of the real-world environment using the first positional measurements associated with different subsets of the set of images to increase accuracy of the model of the real-world environment.
