Title: Variants for Visual OdometryEstimation

Speaker: Prof. Reinhard Klette

Time14:00-15:00, Sept.12

PlaceN3-332

 

Abstract:

Visual odometry (VO) has been extensivelystudied in the last decade.  VO aims at the recovery of a cameratrajectory from an image sequence. Stereo vision-based VO techniques solvethe egomotion estimation problem by means of disparity-derived 3D scenestructure. Typically, one of the two images is only used for disparitycomputation.

This talk discusses at first thedevelopment of a generic feature tracking framework extending the classical VOproblem into a higher dimension, where the image data of both cameras arefully used. Six tracking topologies proposed in literature, namely linear,lookahead, stereo linear, parallel, circular and crosseye, are reviewedand evaluated. Based on the experimental results, we found benefits of takingright images into account through the feature tracking process, over thetypical stereo VO implementation. The stereo-parallel configuration, whichindependently maintains feature tracking on each camera and have thetracked features integrated via a left-right matching, has achieved the mostsignificant improvement of 30% over the conventional linear configuration.

Despite a variety of implementationdetails, proposed VO approaches basically share the same principle - aminimisation of a carefully chosen energy function. This talk also reviewsfour commonly adopted energy models including perspective, epipolar, rigid, andphotometric alignments, and proposes a novel VO technique that unifiesmultiple objectives for outlier rejection and egomotion estimation tooutperform mono-objective egomotion estimation. Experiments show animprovement above 50% is achievable by trading off 15% additional computationalcosts.  - This talk informs about joint work with Dr.Hsiang-Jen Chien and further (former) students or colleagues.
