Abstract
A method (100) of controlling a portable device comprising a first camera and a second camera facing in the same direction. The method comprises: selecting (110) one of the first camera and the second camera as a visualization camera; initializing (120) a localization algorithm having as an input image data representing images captured by one of the first camera and the second camera; determining (130) a respective focus score for at least one of the first camera and the second camera, said focus score indicating a focus quality of features identified from images captured by one of the respective camera; selecting (140,) one of the first camera and the second camera as an enabled camera based on the at least one focus score; and generating a control signal configured to cause the selected camera to be enabled such that the image data representing images captured by the enabled camera are provided as the input to the localization algorithm.
