Abstract

Trajectory estimation is of pivotal importance for mobile robots. Visual Odometry (VO) allows localizing a robot from passive vision data in frame-to-frame fashion. The VO problem can be solved in different ways, hence an evaluation of these algorithms in the context of real benchmark data is interesting. We focus on feature-based n-point methods based on RGB images. These methods used in monocular vision allow for camera rotation estimation, but only a few of them provide translation estimates up to the unknown scale. In the context of the use of commodity RGB-D cameras, we also compare these methods with the Kabsch algorithm, which uses full depth information.
