Abstract:
An index detector detects image coordinates of indices arranged on a scene from an image shot by an imaging device. An orientation sensor is attached to the imaging device, and outputs a measured orientation. An orientation prediction unit predicts an orientation of the imaging device on the basis of the measured orientation obtained by the orientation sensor. A position/orientation calculator receives the predicted orientation of the imaging device and a set of the image coordinates and world coordinates of each index, determines the position of the imaging device and an update value for an azimuth-drift-error correction value of the orientation sensor, and calculates the position and orientation of the imaging device.
