Google Maps VPS
Google Maps is a popular mapping and navigation service that is used by millions of people around the world to get directions and find places. In recent years, Google has been working to incorporate Visual Positioning System (VPS) technology into Google Maps in order to enhance the accuracy and reliability of its location-based services.
Some of the ways that Google is using VPS in Google Maps include:
- Indoor Navigation: Google has developed a VPS-based indoor navigation system that can be used to guide users to their destination within a building, such as a shopping mall or airport. This feature is currently available in selected locations around the world.
- Street View: Google Street View is a feature of Google Maps that allows users to view detailed images of streets and neighborhoods around the world. Google is using VPS technology to enhance the accuracy and precision of Street View, allowing users to see more detailed and up-to-date images of their surroundings.
- Augmented Reality: Google is also using VPS technology to develop an AR mode for Google Maps that can be used to display AR content (such as information about nearby points of interest or virtual objects) on top of the live camera feed. This feature is currently in beta testing.
What is VPS (Visual Positioning System)?
Visual Positioning System (VPS) is a technology that uses computer vision and machine learning algorithms to determine the location and orientation of a device or vehicle in the physical world. It works by comparing the images captured by the device’s camera with a database of pre-mapped images and using machine learning techniques to estimate the device’s position and orientation based on the similarities and differences between the captured images and the pre-mapped images.
