Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to perform visual odometry using a monocular camera. An example apparatus includes a method fusioner to determine a visual odometry method using a surface characterization to calculate first odometry data, a displacement determiner to calculate second odometry data based on sensor information, an odometry calculator to calculate an odometry parameter of a target object with respect to a vehicle based on the first and the second odometry data, and a vehicle command generator to generate a vehicle command based on the odometry parameter.
