RoadAR v.2.0 english

© Eugeniy Nikolskiy, 10.2013. v.2.0

Premium-quality navigation for everyone

(with Augmented Reality, AR)

In most cases navigation systems have outdated cartography

The main problem is manual data input.

Navigator’s hints are useless on the complicated road interchanges

Sometimes car drivers aren't sure if they’ve missed a road sign or not

I often doubt before overtaking

There is no any navigator system with 100% relevant information from the roads.

Truckers use radio connection and always keep each other informed. There is no community like that for usual drivers.


There is no any mobile application on the market, that have all drivers needed features

We decided to create it!Meet RoadAR

DVR

Recording video with short fragments Fragment is marked as “not to delete” when system gets signal from accelerometer (in case of car accident or road bump). Other fragments could be deleted when memory is full.

GPS refinement via video analyzing We are going to make GPS tracks more accurate using visual odometry and data from sensors of modern smartphone (accelerometer, compass, gyroscope).


Automatic map creation

IMPORTANT: Having accurate GPS data and frames from the video (shot with measured coordinates), we can calculate the coordinates of any object that entered the camera field of view!


Example of the road sign coordinates detectionCalculated road sign’s

coordsA road sign on the two video frames (with

known coordinates of a survey)

Shooting points of two frames

Cameras of user`s smartphones will help us to create a road signs map of the whole world. Crowdsourcing in action.

Automatic map creationWhy do we need this?

Automatic map creationMap is going to be very accurate (mapping is based on the exact tracks).

Automatic road signs recognition and placing to the map Also buildings and other objects.

Roads quality mapDetecting cracks, potholes and bumps with accelerometer

Gathering BIG DATA Users routes, billboards images, gas stations prices etc.

11


Navigation Computing optimized routes

Actual for every moment due to system capability to track all changes

Applying the route directly on the video Augmented Reality in action

Traffic jams map Using not only drivers tracks to determine traffic speed, but also DRV data.

Opposite traffic speed: 10 km/h

Direct traffic speed: 40 km/h

12


RadioUsers can communicate, hearing each other within a

certain radius.System defines distance between users with GPS-data.

Out of range

Within radius

13


RadioExchange GPS points and routes.It is much easier to point the place rather than explaining how to get there.

Car drivers are forming a community.We create a social network on the road. People in the cars will be more polite to each other. Rating will make the network become self-managed.

Monetization Processing the video from thousands of smartphoneswe can collect extensive database of traffic information: roads quality, billboards along the roads, prices at the gas stations, traffic information, road signs etc. This information is needed by many businesses and government.

Knowing the people movements by their tracks, we will be able to become a platform for geo-targeted advertising for local businesses.

Market

Mobile advertising market in 2016 will exceed $ 30 billion globally (in Russia $ 215 million). The world market of the augmented reality applications will exceed $ 4 billion (in Russia $ 109 million). Number of downloads of each from top-level applications of the AR and video recording is about 50 million.
