• Abstract: We propose an automatic method for pose and motion estimation against a ground surface for a ground-moving robot-mounted monocular camera. The framework adopts a semi-dense approach that benefits from both a feature-based method and an image-registration-based method by setting multiple patches in the image for displacement computation through a highly accurate image-registration technique. To improve accuracy, we introduce virtual inverse perspective mapping (IPM) in the refinement step to eliminate the perspective effect on image registration. The pose and motion are jointly and robustly estimated by a formulation of geometric bundle adjustment via virtual IPM. Unlike conventional visual odometry methods, the proposed method is free from cumulative error because it directly estimates pose and motion against the ground by taking advantage of a camera configuration mounted on a ground-moving robot where the camera's vertical motion is ignorable compared to its height within the frame interval and the nearby ground surface is approximately flat. We conducted experiments in which the relative mean error of the pitch and roll angles was approximately 1.0 degrees and the absolute mean error of the travel distance was 0.3 mm, even under camera shaking within a short period.

  This paper proposes a method of estimating micro-motion of an object at each pixel that is too small to detect under a common setup of camera and illumination. The approach is based on speckle pattern, which is produced by the mutual interference of laser light on object's surface and continuously changes its appearance according to the out-of-plane motion of the surface. To compensate such micro- and large motion, the method estimates the motion parameters up to scale at each pixel by nonlinear embedding of the speckle pattern into low-dimensional space.
