Abstract:
Aiming at the problem of autonomous navigation for Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) in unknown environments, a monocular vision SVO/INS integrated navigation method is proposed. Firstly, The Semi-direct Visual Odometry (SVO) is used as the vision odometry front-end. The initialization module, keyframe selection criteria and tracking failure processing strategy of SVO are redesigned to realize the application of SVO with forward-looking camera. Then, an error-state Kalman filter is developed. The filter uses the IMU measurements to predict the state, which would be updated with the output of SVO. The proposed method is evaluated with the public dataset, EuRoc. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can estimate the position, attitude and velocity of the MAVs as well as the unknown scale, IMU bias, gravity direction. The position estimation error within 3min navigation is 0.15m, the pitch and roll angle estimation errors are both less than 0.5°, and the yaw angle estimation error is less than 1.2°. The advantages of the proposed method are the low computation cost and real-time performance, which make it very suitable for MAVs navigation with limited onboard computing resources. © 2019, Editorial Department of Journal of Chinese Inertial Technology.
