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 our Android app.
"👍🏻"
David Golubović
"Very helpful for trackers"
Tenzen Sambel
"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."
G S
"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."
Steve Mattison
"Useless. You virtually have to be standing on the peak/mountain you want to identify for this to be accurate. Uninstalled."
Liz Conway
"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."
Faker bey Sherman
"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."
WELCOMETOTHEPITINFO
"God awful. It can't even find a mountain when I'm looking right at it"
E Rosewitz
"Se despista fácilmente pero, a pesar de ello, es de ayuda."
