Abstract
A method and an apparatus for visual positioning based on mobile edge computing are provided. In the method, the mobile edge computing node receives an environment image captured by a to-be-positioned device in an area covered by the mobile edge computing node; the mobile edge computing node determines a target image matching the environment image from multiple candidate images, and calculates the position and pose information of the to-be-positioned device based on the position and pose information of the device for capturing the target image; and the mobile edge computing node sends the position and pose information of the to-be-positioned device to the to-be-positioned device, so that the to-be-positioned device determines the positioning information in an electronic map according to the position and pose information.
