Abstract:
A system determines spatial locations of pixels of an image. The system includes a processor configured to: receive location data from devices located within a hotspot; generate a density map for the hotspot including density pixels associated with spatial locations defined by the location data, each density pixel having a value indicating an amount of location data received from an associated spatial location; match the density pixels of the density map to at least a portion of the pixels of the image; and determine spatial locations of the at least a portion of the pixels of the image based on the spatial locations of the matching density pixels of the density map. In some embodiments, the image and density map are converted to edge maps, and a convolution is applied to the edge maps to match the density map to the pixels of the image.
