Abstract

Although numerous solutions have been proposed to the sensor area localization problem, most of them are aimed at two-dimensional (2D) planes rather than the three-dimensional (3D) scenarios in real world applications. This study presents a novel approach to indoor localization of a mobile object that is equipped with sensors and cameras by utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D stereo image measurements. Based on some experiments conducted, the proposed scheme has shown its potential to be useful in real world applications.
