摘要:
For the 2015 Tsukuba Challenge, we realized an implementation of vision-based localization based on ORB-SLAM. Our method combined mapping based on ORB-SLAM and Velodyne LIDAR SLAM, and utilized these maps in a localization process using only a monocular camera. We also apply sensor fusion method of odometer and ORB-SLAM from all maps. The combined method delivered better accuracy than the original ORB-SLAM, which suffered from scale ambiguities and map distance distortion. This paper reports on our experience when using ORB-SLAM for visual localization, and describes the difficulties encountered.
