Abstract

In the actual operation scenario, we usually want to measure the trajectory of the UAV performing the task. This can be achieved by many different means. For example, we can obtain the motion state estimation of UAV by obtaining sensor information such as GPS, RTK and IMU. Alternatively, the velocity and acceleration of the UAV can be measured and its displacement can be calculated by integration. The device (including hardware and algorithm) to complete this motion estimation is called odometry. Considering the efficiency and cost, we hope to complete the devise of odometry visually. The target of visual odometry (VO) is to estimate the motion of the camera according to the captured image. This paper presents a method based on feature extraction and incremental pose estimation, which can accurately calculate motion state of UAVs through aerial images taken by its own.
