AIRobotsInnovative Aerial Service for Remote Inspections by Contact • Inspection of e.g. Thermal Power Plants • Boilers up to 100 meters high • Up to 1 Mio USD per day of outage • UAV for visual pre-inspection Rainer Voigt – Robust Embedded Egomotion Estimation
Motion Estimation • Front-Looking Stereo-IMU Rig • Motion Estimation with Sparse Features • Tight Coupling of Visual and Inertial Cues for Feature Disambiguation on repetitive Texture HDR, Global Shutter CMOS Sensors 3x Gyroscopes3-Axis Accelerometer High Power LEDs Rainer Voigt – Robust Embedded Egomotion Estimation
Visual Egomotion • Extract key points • Compute descriptors • Associate features ofleft and right image • Triangulate features to obtain 3D points Rainer Voigt – Robust Embedded Egomotion Estimation
Visual Egomotion • Extract key points • Compute descriptors • Associate features ofleft and right image • Triangulate features to obtain 3D points Rainer Voigt – Robust Embedded Egomotion Estimation
Visual Egomotion • Capture next stereo shot • Compute key points,descriptors and 3D points • Predict feature locationsvia IMU motion constraints • Associate features betweenboth stereo pairs • RANSAC outlier rejection • Refinement via bundle adjustment Rainer Voigt – Robust Embedded Egomotion Estimation
Results • Robust real-time motion estimation on single core Intel Atom CPU • Vehicle stabilization Rainer Voigt – Robust Embedded Egomotion Estimation
