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 com 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.

Great idea, but the app is far from perfect: * For offline mode, it requires too much permissions. I do not want to give it permission to access my photos and other files. The app could have stored the data in /sdcard/Android/data, which is possible even without storage permission. * The AI finds peaks even in a room. That would be OK (and expected) for com-based detection, but it “finds” and moves all the peaks after a while. This does not look very reliable.

Slow app, just a fail on so many levels. It makes you recalibrate your com etc every time by waving your phone in an 8 pattern, so get ready to look like a crazy person on the mountain. Then, it doesn't show all the peaks in the area. And finally, as a cherry on top, you take your photos of the mountain peaks, get back home and realize it hasn't saved a single one of them. 😂 What a joke. It sucks because there are very few of these kind of apps for Android.

Good concept, good enough for approximately identifying peaks, but inaccurate. VERY much needs a method to provide a manual adjustment once calibrated. It's always off by a significant amount. So somewhat useless in the end. Also needs an extra small text/label option. Labels take up too much room.

Great app. As long as your phone has capable accurate com & GPS PeakLens works very well. There are gaps in the OSM data it uses for peak id. In south east Australia the peaks can be patchy but I have used this in , Austria, Slovenia, Montenegro with success. The peaks label display moves if the phones internal com moves. The peak id in AR view can be distorted by clouds and trees. Suggestions - options to display peak distance (saved on the json) & adjust label transparency.

Very cool and useful app! Easy to use. I don't share all the negative ratings. The calibration on every start is done very fast and very easy. The app itself works totally reliable and accurate. Plus you can move your phone around to get the names of additional peaks.

Regardless of calibration the app thinks you are facing Southeast every time it opens. If you make sure you are actually facing Southeast then it's great but if not it shows peaks with labels where there are none because it thinks you're facing the other way.

Could not get the application to see mountains when the phone was calibrated and they were infront of me as clear as the demonstration images. From 02-06-2018 and still had major issues. I know why I uninstalled it and will sadly do the same again. Frustrating.

I live in the Canadian Rockies. With the ed map for this area Peaklens works great off-line out in the feild and even out the car window while travelling through the mountains (as a enger). As with any of these types of apps it is important to calibrate the GPS to get accurrate results.
