Claim 14:
15. A navigation method for vehicles and other moving bodies, comprising:
processing a set of measurements, provided by an IMU on a navigable body, to generate a first output including a first velocity and a heading of the navigable body;
sequentially capturing a pair of images of a space in which the navigable body is traveling;
processing the pair of images based on the heading to generate a second output including a second velocity of the navigable body; and
processing the first and second outputs to generate navigation data for the navigable body, wherein the navigation data includes the first velocity or a first position calculated based on the first velocity during the generating of the second output and wherein, after the generating of the second output, the first velocity is modified based on the second velocity.
