The paper presents an approach that integrates stereoscopic images, numerical maps of terrain and inertial sensors’ signals for estimation of geographical location of system user. The proposed solution improves on the GPS system in terms of accuracy and it can be used also inside buildings where GPS readouts are not available. The system was designed with a view of blind pedestrians. The prototype employs the particle fi ltering algorithm to fuse data from diff erent sources.
