The Simulation of the Indoor Positioning by Panoramic Camera and Point Cloud Scanner

Positioning system is more and more important but it is not easy to have indoor positioning without wireless signal. In this paper, we proposed a positioning method with digital panorama image and point cloud system. The point cloud system is used to scan the indoor environment, and filter out the feature objects with the coordinates. The panoramic camera is used to shoot the panoramic image and to find the location of feature objects in the environment. The proposed method calculates the position with the image which taken from panoramic camera and the coordinates from the point cloud system. According to the experimental results, the error in the simulation indoor space is less than 30 mm.
