Abstract

The present disclosure provides a robot visual image feature extraction method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: collecting image data through visual sensor(s) of the robot, and collecting angular velocity data through inertial sensor(s) of the robot; calculating a relative pose between image frames in the image data based on the angular velocity data; extracting feature points of the first image frame in the image data; calculating a projection position of each feature point of the k-th image frame in the k+1-th image frame based on a relative pose between the k-th image frame and the k+1-th image frame; and searching for each feature point in the projection position in the k+1-th image frame, and performing a synchronous positioning and a mapping based on the searched feature point. In this manner, the feature points of dynamic objects are eliminated.
