Abstract

A device is disclosed that is configured for performing localization using one or both of a depth sensor and a monocular camera that are transportable with the device. The device is adapted to receive depth data from the depth sensor, determine a benefit level of activating the monocular camera for localization, based on the depth data, and activate the monocular camera for localization based on a determination that the benefit level of activating the monocular camera satisfies an activation rule. Related methods and computer program products are also disclosed.
