Abstract:
An electronic device includes one or more imaging cameras. After a reset of the device or other specified event, the electronic device identifies an estimate of the device's pose based on location data such as Global Positioning System (GPS) data, cellular tower triangulation data, wireless network address location data, and the like. The one or more imaging cameras may be used to capture imagery of the local environment of the electronic device, and this imagery is used to refine the estimated pose to identify a refined pose of the electronic device. The refined pose may be used to identify additional imagery information, such as environmental features, that can be used to enhance the location based functionality of the electronic device.
