Patent attributes
Methods and systems for real time localization of a device using image data are disclosed herein. A disclosed method for localizing a device with respect to a known object includes capturing an image of at least a portion of the known object. The method also includes determining, using a trained machine intelligence system and the image, a set of known object coordinates for a set of known object pixels of the image. The set of known object coordinates: are outputs of the trained machine intelligence system; are in a frame of reference of the object; and encode each object coordinate in the set of known object coordinates using an encoding with at least two values per object coordinate. The method also includes localizing the device with respect to the known object using the set of known object coordinates from the trained machine intelligence system.
