Abstract
This paper describes a solution and algorithm to enhance positioning in outdoor environments with high buildings to be used in a mobile application to aid visually impaired people for navigation purposes. We used an image recognition algorithm and adjusted the android app algorithm to decrease the initial error average of 85 m (without any correction from GPS obtained signal) to a 5 m error, in the final version of our solution.
