Our method of indoor localization utilizes a module with a ceiling-facing camera that recognizes glyph markers on the ceiling. The glyph markers on the ceiling each have unique IDs corresponding to positions in the global map of the area that the module is localizing in. In order to make our localization method possible, we needed to determine a practical glyph recognition system to use. We have chosen to use AprilTags as our glyph recognition system due to its robustness in accurate recognition of its tags. The AprilTags system provides quick scale-invariant and rotation-invariant recognition of its tags and will therefore prove very useful to our indoor localization project as our chosen glyph recognition system. AprilTags was developed at the University of Michigan by Professor Edwin Olson. Check out the AprilTags wiki here.
