ABSTRACT
This paper deals with navigation indoors and in small-scale outdoor scenes. We propose to enhance IMU and conventional visual odometry navigation - typically used in the said contexts - by visual location estimation based on markers conveniently displaced in the environment. We propose using visually appealing Uniform Marker Fields; this technique offers high precision and real-time performance on mobile devices of moderate computational power. We evaluate the accuracy of the proposed technique, achieving approximately 4cm error in a scene of roughly 5 m diameter (beneath 1 %).

Semi-dense Visual Odometry for a Monocular Camera
ICCV '13: Proceedings of the 2013 IEEE International Conference on Computer VisionWe propose a fundamentally novel approach to real-time visual odometry for a monocular camera. It allows to benefit from the simplicity and accuracy of dense tracking - which does not depend on visual features - while running in real-time on a CPU. The ...
Real-time Quadrifocal Visual Odometry
