Indoor Positioning & Computer Vision (IPCV) Research Group

About Us

We are a research group from the University of Toronto, Mississauga Mathematical and Computational Sciences department. Our current research interests lie in indoor and outdoor positioning, localization and navigation that can be applied to mobile robots, drones, and AR/VR systems. In the past we have compared and evaluated multiple current indoor positioning techniques and further developed and improved specific methods, including computer vision and AI/ML techniques. We are also currently researching and exploring sensor fusion and IMU-based positioning.

Research Interests:

  • Sensor Fusion and filtering
  • Deep Learning for Computer Vision
  • Inertial Navigation Systems
  • Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
  • Object and Camera Pose Estimation
  • Perception for Autonomous Vehicles
