A Geometric Framework for Absolute Pose and Velocity Estimation with Event Cameras
Researchers have developed a new geometric framework to estimate both the absolute pose and velocity of objects using event cameras. This method leverages 3D lines in a scene and the events they trigger, addressing a gap where previous techniques primarily focused on velocity estimation. The framework utilizes geometric constraints to enable efficient linear and globally optimal polynomial solvers for pose, and both linear and optimization-based solvers for velocity, requiring a minimum of three event-line correspondences.
