Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for horizon-based navigation. A method can include receiving image data corresponding to a geographical region in a field of view of an imaging unit and in which the device is situated, based on the received image data, generating, by the processing unit, an image horizon corresponding to a horizon of the geographical region and from a perspective of the imaging unit, projecting three-dimensional (3D) points of a 3D point set of the geographical region to an image space of the received image data resulting in a synthetic image, generating, by the processing unit, a synthetic image horizon of the synthetic image, and responsive to determining the image horizon sufficiently correlates with the synthetic image horizon, providing a location corresponding to a perspective of the synthetic image as a location of the processing unit.
