Talk:Visual odometry

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 1 one external link on Visual odometry. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/20080808123021/http://www.cs.duke.edu/%7Etomasi/papers/tian/tianCvpr96.pdf to http://www.cs.duke.edu/~tomasi/papers/tian/tianCvpr96.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Cheers.—cyberbot II  Talk to my owner :Online 01:18, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Irrelevant content
Please remove the images to DJI quadcopters - Wikipedia is not a space for advertising or promoting products. The quad-copters are not even referenced in the article and even if they were and you thought the images were appropriate you could have omitted their make and model from the description as this is completely irrelevant, right? Here let me do it for you...

Egomotion section questions
Hi,

(I am new here and trying to be "bold" in the wikipedia sense, so please be benign!)

As I understand it, the "Egomotion" section addresses two different topics:

1. Egomotion of the camera, being synonymous to visual odometry (or did I miss a point?) and summarizing the descritpion in section "Algorithm".

2. "An example of egomotion estimation would be estimating a car's moving position relative to lines on the road or street signs being observed from the car itself." This is different from VO in that it implies object recognition (road marking lines, traffic signs) and pose estimation relative to those objects, not just velocity and rate estimation without a deeper understanding of any image content.

I would suggest merging the egomotion part into the VO description and possibly mentioning VO as supportive to "Visual servoing" or "Vision Guided Robotic Systems" where VO can help in bridging gaps in (possibly low-frequency) object detection results to have continuous pose feedback (by integrating the velocities and rates onto the sporadic pose estimates of detectors).

Somebody cares to comment?

Regards,

Use in optical computer mice
Isn't this method also used in an Optical mouse to detect movement? I think this is an important and "relatable" use of this technology, and should be mentioned in this article. 2001:16B8:6497:F1FC:4432:1B61:FE25:9639 (talk) 14:13, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
