Problems solved by technology

The amount of calculation for initialization is very large, resulting in a very slow initialization process, and because the 3D point cloud needs to be reconstructed, due to the distance problem, it will be limited by the depth of field

Embodiment Construction

[0040] The present invention will be further described below.

[0041] A feature-based fast initialization method for monocular SLAM, comprising the following steps:

[0042] 1) Start SLAM and obtain the first frame of pictures, and extract ORB feature points P(x,y) from the pictures.

[0043] ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF, oriented to fast rotation invariance algorithm) is a fast feature point extraction and description algorithm, which has rotation invariance and good anti-noise ability. The main direction of feature points is through the moment ( moment) is calculated, that is to say, the centroid of the feature point within the radius of r is calculated through the moment, and the coordinates of the feature point to the centroid form a vector as the direction of the feature point.

[0044] 2) Perform image dedistortion on P(x,y)

[0045] The process of camera imaging is essentially the conversion of several coordinate systems. First, a point in space is converted ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a feature based monocular SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) quick initialization method, which comprises the steps of 1) starting SLAM, acquiring a first frame picture and extracting ORB feature points P(x, y) for the picture; 2) performing image distortion removing on the ORB feature points P(x, y); 3) performing normalization on image coordinates of the distortion removed feature points in the step 2); 4) building a random depth for each feature point in the step 3); 5) combining results of the step 3) and the step 4) so as to build map points corresponding to the feature points, and acquiring an initial map; and 6) performing optimization on a matching result of subsequent adjacent frames and an existing map, and executing the normal feature SLAM process for each next newly increased frame so as to continuously adjust and expand the map and realize continuous tracking for SLAM. The feature based monocular SLAM quick initialization method provided by the invention is high in speed, small in calculation amount and not restricted by the depth of field.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a SLAM initialization method. Background technique [0002] SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping, real-time positioning and map construction) refers to the creation of maps by robots in a completely unknown environment under the condition of uncertain positions, and at the same time use maps for autonomous positioning and navigation. Positioning based on visual sensors has become a hot research topic at home and abroad in recent years, and it is divided into monocular, binocular and multi-eye positioning. Since one observation of monocular SLAM cannot obtain all information relative to environmental features, only direction information can be obtained, and distance information cannot be extracted. It is a method with only direction information. Therefore, there is a feature initialization method for building feature maps. The initial position of the feature is estimated, and the estimated depth information is obtained. ...
