The application discloses a kind of omnidirectional fish-eye image
feature tracking and extraction method based on non-parallel virtual
binoculars, including constructing four fish-eye camera systems, obtaining relative
pose transformation based on pre-calibration external parameter, predicting
pose based on uniform speed model or IMU pre-integration, and using co-observation feature points to construct re-projection
error function etc.Steps, the present application realizes eight
view angle equivalent coverage by constructing four virtual
binoculars combinations, without increasing the number of physical cameras, so that high-overlapping co-observation area is formed between adjacent cameras;Based on the external parameter of pre-calibration and MEI fish-eye model, spherical polar line is directly generated for matching search on distorted image, and for the challenge of
occlusion and environmental interference, a time-space two-dimensional fault-tolerant mechanism is proposed: dynamic direction switching design, when the number of tracked features is lower than the threshold due to
occlusion, the camera direction is actively switched as the main tracking source, and new feature points are supplemented, to avoid
system crash caused by local visual field failure.
