Abstract
A navigation system includes a measurement unit that outputs a positioning signal associated with positioning coordinates, a navigation unit that obtains guidance indication and that outputs a navigation signal, and an image unit that includes a capturing module capturing a series of planar images, a computation module and an augmented reality module. The computation module generates an optical flow signal for obtaining the positioning coordinates, and further outputs a registration signal. The augmented reality module performs image registration processing based on the navigation signal and the registration signal, so that the guidance indication is superimposed on the series of planar images of real-world scene for subsequent display.
