Title
Landmark-based pedestrian navigation from collections of geotagged photos
Abstract
Mobile phones are an attractive platform for landmark-based pedestrian navigation systems. To be practical, such a system must be able to automatically generate lightweight directions that can be displayed on these mobile devices. We present a system that leverages an online collection of geotagged photographs to automatically generate navigational instructions. These are presented to the user as a sequence of images of landmarks augmented with directional instructions. Both the landmark selection and image augmentation are done automatically. We present a user study that indicates these generated directions are beneficial to users and suggest areas for future improvement.
