Abstract

Traditional navigation systems rely mainly on satellite navigation, but internal positioning and navigation cannot be achieved. This is mainly due to the inability to penetrate the wall due to the complex internal environment and the signal reaching the ground. Therefore, this paper proposes the research of indoor positioning algorithm based on improved convolutional neural network. The main method of this paper is based on the monocular vision indoor positioning based on the improved convolutional neural network. This method is an intelligent solution to the problems of traditional methods such as high cost, poor anti-interference ability, weak robustness, and poor compatibility. Positioning aids. The traditional computer vision camera pose estimation method is affected by the complex background in the image. When extracting feature corners, it is very affected by non-interest corners, so this paper adds an improved convolutional neural network algorithm to add in complex indoor scenes. With the region limitation, camera pose estimation in the region of interest is better to achieve low-cost, high accuracy and more stability. The improved model in this paper was tested on a test set of indoor datasets with markers, and the recognition accuracy reached 98.1%. In addition, this paper improves the PnP solution method, compares and analyzes the traditional RPnP, EPnP, and CEPPnP algorithms, and seeks the optimal camera pose estimation algorithm to locate the world coordinates of the current shooting position. The experimental results show that this paper proposes the positioning algorithm has high stability.
