Abstract
A method of visual odometry for a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs is disclosed. The one or more programs includes instructions, which when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform the following steps comprising: performing data alignment among sensors including a LiDAR, cameras and an IMU-GPS module; collecting image data and generating point clouds; processing, in the IMU-GPS module, a pair of consecutive images in the image data to recognize pixels corresponding to a same point in the point clouds; and establishing an optical flow for visual odometry.
