| description | This Final Year Project introduces a prototype web application aimed at enhancing indoor
navigation within the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) campus, specifically targeting
GPS-denied environments by leveraging visual localization technology.
NTUVizMap, an application developed independently, utilizes images captured by users'
mobile devices to identify their precise locations and provide navigational guidance to
predefined destinations within a limited campus area, primarily focusing on the NTU
marketplace.
Through the integration of React TypeScript for frontend development, FastAPI for backend
services, and the employment of the Hierarchical Localization (HLoc) algorithm for visual
localization, the project demonstrates the feasibility of image-based localization in aiding
campus navigation. Additionally, the application incorporates a 3D map model developed
using Blender, enhancing the user interaction experience. Hosted on Google Cloud Platform,
the project explores the potential of visual localization in addressing the challenges of indoor
navigation, providing a foundational step towards the development of comprehensive
navigation solutions for complex indoor environments.
The findings and insights gained underscore the project's contribution to the advancement of
visual localization technology within educational settings, despite its prototype nature and
limited coverage. |
