dc.titleIntegration of camera-based localization frameworks and building information modeling for improved indoor-outdoor positioning accuracyen_US
dcterms.abstractThis dissertation addresses seamless positioning across indoor and outdoor environments where GNSS fails, through the integration of camera-based localization frameworks and Building Information Modeling (BIM) using semantic understanding as the bridge between them. The research answers four central questions through interconnected frameworks progressing from foundational semantic understanding to sophisticated multi-modal positioning systems.en_US
dcterms.abstractResearch Question 1 investigates whether environmental semantics enable AR-grade positioning without expensive infrastructure. Progressive improvement from smartphone material-based positioning (7.74m) to panorama-based differential rendering (0.84m) achieves 90% accuracy improvement through 360-degree capture and Level-of-Detail-aware optimization.en_US
dcterms.abstractResearch Question 2 addresses continuous tracking for mobile AR navigation through Extended Kalman Filter integration of semantic visual positioning with visual-inertial odometry, achieving 0.69m accuracy at 10Hz with graceful degradation.en_US
dcterms.abstractResearch Question 3 tackles scale ambiguity in Structure-from-Motion through Generalized Procrustes Analysis, combining BIM’s global positioning with photogrammetric relative accuracy to achieve 0.59m positioning with recovered metric scale.en_US
dcterms.abstractResearch Question 4 validates BIM-integrated frameworks for digital twin applications through a three-stage pipeline achieving 0.47m panorama and 0.92m smartphone positioning, removing the need for point cloud mapping while maintaining real-time efficiency.en_US
dcterms.abstractThe research establishes five theoretical contributions: semantic-aware positioning theory, multi-modal integration architectures, scale-aware photogrammetric integration, adaptive environmental modeling, and cross-environment positioning continuity. These contributions provide foundations for smart cities, autonomous navigation systems, and immersive digital environments.en_US
