Abstract
A method of controlling a portable device including a camera, the method including: performing localization of the portable device using a localization algorithm having as an input image data representing images captured by the camera; identifying a current focus area of the camera; determining a desired focus area for the camera; determining that a change of focus is required when the desired focus area is different to the current focus area; and generating a control signal configured to cause the focus of the camera to change in respect of a new focus area.
