ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method for the extraction, identification and comparison of skylines from imagery data specifically, for the purpose of accurately locating the position of a mobile platform for navigation purposes. The invention is carried out by processing images obtained using a compact mobile electro-optic device that is designed to be mounted on any mobile platform, such that a clear circumferential view of the surroundings is available. The method allows the position of the mobile platform to be determined in three dimensional space, relative to any arbitrary coordinate system; the exact map coordinates of the platform to be determined; or allows the platform to follow a previously traversed track.
