Using Camera Phone Images of Paper Maps as LBS Interface?
I’m not at all sure of the details on how this works - but the new technology called MapSnapper is from Dr Jonathon Hare and Professor Paul Lewis from Southampton’s School of Electronics & Computer Science (ECS). It allows the user to take a picture of a paper map with a cell phone, then query the map as an interface to location based information. How the captured map is assigned real world coordinates is not discussed, but perhaps it will be at Electronic Imaging conference in San Jose, California, from 27-31 January where MapSnapper will debut.
