Abstract: Method for determining an environment map comprising, server-side receiving of motion data of a mobile device, server-side receiving of orientation data of a camera of the mobile device and server-side receiving of the respective image of the camera associated with the received motion data and orientation data, server-side evaluation of the received image together with the motion data and the orientation data for creating a server-side point cloud, the server-side point cloud forming at least in parts the environment map.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for position determination in a 3D model of an environment and a computer-executed iterative method for position determination in a 3D model of an environment. The method includes the steps of: a) acquisition of camera, gyroscope and accelerometer data, b) determination of visual features from the acquired camera sensor data, c) creation of a current key image of the pose (PK) from the visual features and the gyroscope and accelerometer sensor data, d) addition of the key image of the pose (PK) to a database, and e) position determination by comparing the current key image of the posture (PK) with those of the database.
