PeakLens
Test your mountain knowledge and share your pictures of stunning skyline views with your friends on social networks.FEATURES- Precisely identifies mountain peaks and hills in real-time.- Works worldwide: from Alps, Himalayas, Rocky Mountains and Andes up to the smallest hills, anywhere on Earth.- Corrects GPS, compass, magnetometer and gyroscope errors with artificial intelligence.- Works online and offline with pre-downloaded maps.- High quality photographs with peak names in overlay.- Knows position, height and distance from you of more than 200.000 peaks.- Works both with Imperial and Metric unit systems.PeakLens is a novel Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality app for mountain lovers, hikers and trekkers.
It is the result of years of research in artificial intelligence and computer vision, based on a novel algorithm that identifies mountain peaks in real time with high precision.
Its core is a software component that compares what you actually see in the camera of your mobile phone or tablet with a virtual panorama, created from a digital 3D landscape model of the Earth.
By matching what you see and the virtual panorama, PeakLens automatically corrects most errors that come from the imprecision of the compass and GPS sensor, giving you always the most accurate peak positioning.RESOURCES- Digital Elevation Model: the digital elevation model of the SRTM project (https://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm) is used for calculating panoramic views.- Peaks: the Peaks dataset is extracted from Openstreetmap.com.OpenStreetMap is open data, licensed under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL).PeakLens is a research result of Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informatica e Bioingegneria.For any comments, questions or feedbacks contact us at [email protected]!Fixes black label problems when phone is set on dark mode

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about this Android app.
"👍🏻"
"Very helpful for trackers"
"Cool idea but unfortunately it's not accurate. Tried it just now and it did list some mountains in my area and lined it up nicely with the peaks on the camera, unfortunately they were completely wrong and in different area of my city. Too bad."
"Says I'm traveling south when I'm going west. Names mountains as long as I'm not looking at them. Can I just pull the compass myself? It would be much more usable."
"Useless. You virtually have to be standing on the peak/mountain you want to identify for this to be accurate. Uninstalled."
"Works great. Unfortunately picture taken doesn't have GPS location. And you can't choose any picture settings like what camera to use and so on."
"It works but it seems to off by a quarter mile everywhere. It's not exactly 100% . I know the mountains in my area. It needs an upgrade. Cool app. Needs tweaking."
"God awful. It can't even find a mountain when I'm looking right at it"
"Se despista fácilmente pero, a pesar de ello, es de ayuda."
"Useful anda simple"
