Robust Real-Time Visual Odometry with a Single Camera and an IMU

چکیده
The increasing demand for real-time high-precision Visual Odometry systems as part of navigation and localization tasks has recently been driving research towards more versatile and scalable solutions. In this paper, we present a novel framework for combining the merits of inertial and visual data from a monocular camera to accumulate estimates of local motion incrementally and reliably reconstruct the trajectory traversed. We demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of our methodology in a scenario with challenging camera dynamics, and present a comprehensive evaluation against ground-truth data.

A Multi-Sensor Fusion MAV State Estimation from Long-Range Stereo, IMU, GPS and Barometric Sensors
State estimation is the most critical capability for MAV (Micro-Aerial Vehicle) localization, autonomous obstacle avoidance, robust flight control and 3D environmental mapping. There are three main challenges for MAV state estimation: (1) it can deal with aggressive 6 DOF (Degree Of Freedom) motion; (2) it should be robust to intermittent GPS (Global Positioning System) (even GPS-denied) situat...

This paper presents a novel method for visual-inertial odometry. The method is based on an information fusion framework employing low-cost IMU sensors and the monocular camera in a standard smartphone. We formulate a sequential inference scheme, where the IMU drives the dynamical model and the camera frames are used in coupling trailing sequences of augmented poses. The novelty in the model is ...

We present a method for calculating odometry in three-dimensions for car-like ground vehicles with an Ackerman-like steering model. In our approach we use the information from a single camera to derive the odometry in the plane and fuse it with roll and pitch information derived from an on-board IMU to extend to three-dimensions, thus providing odometric altitude as well as traditional x and y ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a method for combining stereo visual odometry, Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) odometry and reduced Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) including two horizontal accelerometers and one vertical gyro. The proposed method starts with stereo visual odometry to estimate six Degree of Freedom (DoF) ego motion to register the point clouds from previous epoch to the curren...

We present an unsupervised deep neural network approach to the fusion of RGB-D imagery with inertial measurements for absolute trajectory estimation. Our network, dubbed the Visual-Inertial-Odometry Learner (VIOLearner), learns to perform visual-inertial odometry (VIO) without inertial measurement unit (IMU) intrinsic parameters (corresponding to gyroscope and accelerometer bias or white noise)...
