Museum Indoor VPS

ongoing

A web-based indoor positioning and orientation system from smartphone camera.

Notes

This project is a VPS (Visual Positioning System), web based, as local as possible, for indoor positioning and guidance in museums (or other indoor contexts).

It builds on several parts:

  • -A user-friendly administration interface for staff to scan rooms (with assisted scanning), add entrances and exit points, add artworks or POIs with their descriptions, and connect rooms together.
  • -A user side positioning system able to relocate the camera in the map from a smartphone picture and position POIs and exits relative to the user position and orientation.
  • -A voice LLM assistant with localization tooling able to seamlessly understands the spacial context of the user and the position of elements around them.

The whole system is based on:

  • -xfeat for feature extraction
  • -lightglue for feature matching
  • -glomap for SFM and point cloud generation
  • -a custom PnP implementation for camera relocalization
  • -arcore for point projection at scanning time (mainly for user scanning guidance)
  • -cellphone sensors for movement detetction
