Abstract
Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for receiving measurements from one or more inertial sensors (i.e. accelerometer and angular rate gyros) attached to a device with a camera or other environment capture capability. In one embodiment, the inertial measurements may be combined with pose estimates obtained from computer vision algorithms executing with real time camera images. Using such inertial measurements, a system may more quickly and efficiently obtain higher accuracy orientation estimates of the device with respect to an object known to be stationary in the environment.
