Most of the previous visual odometry methods cannot deal with a large independently moving object that takes up over 50% of the image area. To overcome this problem, the spatiotemporal filter is incorporated into the RANSAC method to filter out false match that occurrs by a large independently moving object. This spatiotemporal filter uses the current and previous motion vector's length and direction. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively rejects the motion vectors generated from large independently moving objects and improves the visual odometry accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
