Dead reckoning supports stereo vision in pedestrians tracking

Abstract

This "work in progress" paper reports on a novel approach to pedestrian tracking in confined areas which is based on a combined use of a stereo vision tracking system and a set of sensors available on a mobile platform. This platform is a hands-free, sensory augmented, wearable computer, designed to support visits to museums and archaeological sites. The system is going to be demonstrated within the framework of a cultural heritage application at the "Musei Universitari di Palazzo Poggi" in Bologna
