The Future of Navigation (GPS Vs VPS)

 GPS (Global Positioning System) and VPS (Visual Positioning System) are both technologies that are used to determine the location of an object. However, they work in different ways and have different applications.




GPS is a satellite-based navigation system that uses a network of satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the location of a GPS receiver on the ground. GPS is widely used in a variety of applications, including navigation for cars, boats, and airplanes, as well as tracking and surveying.


VPS, on the other hand, is a camera-based technology that uses a combination of visual and inertial data to determine the location of an object. VPS uses computer vision algorithms to analyze the visual features of the environment, such as textures and patterns, and compare them to a pre-built map to determine the object's location. This technology is mainly used in indoor localization, such as in a shopping mall, and drone navigation.

In summary, GPS uses satellites to determine location, while VPS uses cameras and visual information to determine location mainly indoor.
