Rotation estimation and vanishing point extraction by omnidirectional vision in urban environment

2012

International audience; Rotation estimation is a fundamental step for various robotic applications such as automatic control of ground/aerial vehicles, motion estimation and 3D reconstruction. However it is now well established that traditional navigation equipments, such as global positioning systems (GPSs) or inertial measurement units (IMUs), suffer from several disadvantages. Hence, some vision-based works have been proposed recently. Whereas interesting results can be obtained, the existing methods have non-negligible limitations such as a difficult feature matching (e.g. repeated textures, blur or illumination changes) and a high computational cost (e.g. analyze in the frequency domai…
