Abstract: According to the present invention there is provide a method a method for matching features in an image with landmark representations in a landmark map, the method comprising: providing at least one image; extracting from the image one or more features; providing a landmark map comprising a list of landmark representations, wherein each landmark representation is a representation of a respective physical landmark; creating a plurality of policies, each policy comprising at least one matching decision of the feature and the landmark representation, each matching decision having a stage cost; assigning a policy cost to each of the policies, wherein the policy cost is a function of the stage costs of the matching decisions the policy is comprised of; selecting from the collection of the policies the policy with the desired policy cost. There is further provided an assembly having a processor which is configured to carry out said method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a state xk (8) of a camera (11) at a time tk, the state xk (8) being a realization of a state random variable Xk, wherein the state is related to a state-space model of a movement of the camera (11).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining whether an image or location contains a barcode. The systems and methods include comparing visual data extracted from an image to target visual data. The systems and methods also include comparing different portions of captured barcode data to corresponding portions of target barcode data. The systems and methods also include utilizing barcode formatting data when comparing or computing a similarity measure. The systems and methods also include causing a second image to be captured when no match is found in a first image. The systems and methods also include identifying a target barcode from a barcode database based on spatial information about where an image was captured. The systems and methods also include validating a barcode based on different regions of the barcode from two different images of the barcode. The systems and methods also include using two barcodes captured in an image.
