Extending Deep Event Visual Odometry with Sparse Point-Cloud Export
Researchers have enhanced a deep event visual odometry system by adding a pipeline to export sparse point clouds. This new feature allows the system to output the estimated 3D structure of the environment, which can be used for visualization and further processing. The system, an extension of the original DEVO, maintains its core odometry capabilities while enabling geometric scene output. Experiments on a specific sequence demonstrated the exported point clouds' local consistency and precision, while also noting limitations in density and completeness. AI
