Abstract Visual odometry is critical in visual simultaneous localization and mapping for robot navigation. However, the pose estimation performance of most current visual odometry algorithms degrades in scenes with unevenly distributed features because dense features occupy excessive weight. Herein, a new human visual attention mechanism for point-and-line stereo visual odometry, which is called point-line-weight-mechanism visual odometry (PLWM-VO), is proposed to describe scene features in a global and balanced manner. A weight-adaptive model based on region partition and region growth is generated for the human visual attention mechanism, where sufficient attention is assigned to position-distinctive objects (sparse features in the environment). Furthermore, the sum of absolute differences algorithm is used to improve the accuracy of initialization for line features. Compared with the state-of-the-art method (ORB-VO), PLWM-VO show a 36.79% reduction in the absolute trajectory error on the Kitti and Euroc datasets. Although the time consumption of PLWM-VO is higher than that of ORB-VO, online test results indicate that PLWM-VO satisfies the real-time demand. The proposed algorithm not only significantly promotes the environmental adaptability of visual odometry, but also quantitatively demonstrates the superiority of the human visual attention mechanism. |
