Determining the scale of relative motion is key to achieve consistency in monocular motion estimation when trajectories are recovered up to a scale factor. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to estimate the relative scale in monocular visual odometry using a calibrated camera. Our algorithm exploits redundancy in point depth information to achieve robust relative scale estimates. The performance of the method is evaluated in the KITTI public dataset for autonomous vehicles using the standard KITTI benchmark metrics. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of a robust relative scale estimation with 3.06% less drift against visual odometry without any scale correction, and a total average translation error of 33.23%. |
