  • Pose estimation using sensors
    Patent number: 10260862
    Abstract: A method and system estimates a three-dimensional (3D) pose of a sensor by first acquiring scene data of a 3D scene by the sensor. Two-dimensional (2D) lines are detected in the scene data and the 2D lines are matched to 3D lines of a 3D model of the scene to produce matching lines. Then, the 3D pose of the sensor is estimated using the matching lines.
    Type: Grant
