Two new pieces of software that run on mobile phones but think a little like driverless cars have been developed. "The first, called SegNet, can take footage of a street scene from a smartphone's camera and classify it, sorting objects into 12 different categories -- such as roads, street signs, pedestrians, buildings and cyclists."
"The second system uses footage from the street scene to discern where the phone is, using the geometry of buildings and street furniture to discern location. The system has so far been tested in the center of Cambridge, where it's been shown to be 'far more accurate than GPS.'"
