New pose estimation method uses event cameras and height constraints

Researchers have developed a new pose estimation method for active marker systems using event cameras. This approach utilizes a height-constrained 2-point minimal solver, incorporating tilt angle and camera height from onboard sensors like IMUs or altimeters. The method offers both closed-form and linear least-squares solutions, demonstrating improved accuracy over existing P2P solvers and competitive performance against P3P on synthetic and real-world data.

    A Height-Constrained 2-Point Minimal Solver for Pose Estimation from Active LED Markers with Event Cameras

    arXiv:2608.09520v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In many autonomous applications requiring real-time localization, active marker-based systems are preferred due to their low latency and ease of deployment compared to computationally demanding feature-based methods. Event~\mbox{cam…
