Efficiency Aspects of Orientation Estimation with Optical Flow on Mobiles

In this paper techniques for reliable orientation estimation on Android-based devices are investigated in the aspect of processing demand. In terms of reliability, an optical flow based sensor fusion method is proposed. With a well detailed measurement configuration, the results are shown in the aspect of processor load and different frame rate for both synchronous and asynchronous processing.
