  • Method for stereo visual odometry using points, lines and planes
    Patent number: 9430847
    Abstract: A method determines a motion between a first and second coordinate system, by first extracting a first set of primitives from a 3D image acquired in the first coordinate system from an environment, and extracting a second set of primitives from a 3D image acquired in the second coordinate system from the environment. Motion hypotheses are generated for different combinations of the first and second sets of primitives using a RANdom SAmple Consensus procedure. Each motion hypothesis is scored using a scoring function learned using parameter learning techniques. Then, a best motion hypothesis is selected as the motion between the first and second coordinate system.
