Abstract: The solution disclosed herein reduces the amount of time and computational resources necessary to determine a dominant gradient direction of an image area comprising a plurality of pixels of an image. To that end, the dominant gradient direction of an image area is determined based on two gradient magnitudes determined from four sample points in the image area, where a direction of one of the gradient magnitudes is perpendicular to a direction of the other of the gradient magnitudes. The dominant gradient direction is then determined by taking the arctangent of the computed gradient magnitudes.

Abstract: A device may obtain, from a camera associated with a reference object, depth image data including objects in a first frame and a second frame; identify features of the objects in the first frame and the second frame; and track movements of the features between the first frame and the second frame. The device may also identify independently moving features in the second frame, based on the tracking movements; remove the independently moving features from the depth image data to obtain a static feature set; and process the depth image data corresponding to the static feature set to detect changes in the relative position of objects in the first frame and the second frame. The processor may further translate the changes in relative position into corresponding movement data of the camera and provide the corresponding movement data to an inertial navigation system.
