Abstract

A method for simultaneous localization and mapping is provided, which can reliably handle strong rotation and fast motion. The method provided a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm framework based on a key frame, which can support rapid local map extension. Under this framework, a new feature tracking method based on multiple homography matrices is provided, and this method is efficient and robust under strong rotation and fast motion. A camera orientation optimization framework based on a sliding window is further provided to increase motion constraint between successive frames with simulated or actual IMU data. Finally, a method for obtaining a real scale of a specific plane and scene is provided in such a manner that a virtual object is placed on a specific plane in real size.
