Imagine your phone's GPS getting confused by tall buildings or tunnels, making your blue dot jump all over the map. This tech uses the camera on your device to 'see' where it is, filling in the gaps when satellite signals drop. It's like giving a drone or a phone a pair of eyes to double-check its location in real-time.
Satellite navigation fails in 'urban canyons' due to signal blockage and jamming, making it unreliable for safety-critical tasks. Current high-accuracy alternatives are too expensive for mass-market adoption.
A cloud-based multi-sensor navigation service with a visual localisation component. It is delivered via a platform-independent API for smartphones and drones.
If you are a drone delivery company dealing with signal loss in urban canyons — this project developed a cloud service with visual localisation that ensures safe and accurate navigation. This prevents crashes and delivery errors in dense city environments.
If you are a surveying firm dealing with expensive high-accuracy equipment — this project developed an affordable AAA-PNT solution accessible via API. It allows professional-grade mapping using standard smartphones and drones.
If you are a bike navigation app provider dealing with inaccurate positioning in cities — this project developed a multi-sensor navigation system that compensates for GNSS issues. This provides a smoother, driftless experience for the end user.
Based on available project data, the specific pricing is not listed, but the objective is to provide an 'affordable' and 'economical' alternative to expensive traditional augmentation systems.
Yes, the project is designed as a scalable and adaptive cloud service. It is intended for transfer to markets such as location-based services (LBS), autonomous vehicles, and search & rescue.
Based on available project data, specific IP and licensing terms are not provided, though the service is delivered via a platform-independent API.
The service is accessed through a platform-independent API, which has been integrated specifically for smartphones and drones during the project.
The project period runs from 2022-12-01 to 2026-05-31, with the goal of bringing the solution to the professional and consumer mass markets.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 67% industry ratio, comprising 6 industrial partners (5 of which are SMEs) across 4 countries. This strong commercial presence, led by AIT, suggests the project is focused on market viability rather than pure academic research.
