A New Technique Makes GPS Accurate To An Inch (gizmodo.com)
A team from the University of California, Riverside, has developed a technique that augments regular GPS data with on-board inertial measurements from a sensor. Actually, that's been tried before, but in the past it's required large computers to combine the two data streams, rendering it ineffective for use in cars or mobile devices. Instead what the University of California team has done is create a set of new algorithms which, it claims, reduce the complexity of the calculation by several orders of magnitude. In turn, that allows GPS systems in a mobile device to calculate position with an accuracy of just an inch.
No it's not; for the rest of the world it's accurate to 2.54cm.

Couldn't the same level of 'automatic' be achieved with image recognition cameras at the doors, or other sensors to achieve the same result?
Why would you want to do it in a simple way?
Sig ?
Yes, I know what you mean. I left my home in upstate NY to buy a chalupa at the Taco Bell down the street and ended up in Nova Scotia...

Dick measuring goes high-tech.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
