Abstract

Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for initializing an image sensor of a robotic vehicle. In some embodiments, a processor of the robotic vehicle may extract first features from a captured image of the target image, may extract second features from a predefined image pyramid of the target image, may match first features and second features, and may estimate an image sensor pose based on matched features and known dimensions of the target image. In some embodiments, the processor may estimate an image or to image sensor pose based on matched features and a translation and/or rotation of the robotic vehicle. In some embodiments, the processor may determine a coordinate system for the robotic vehicle based on one or more image sensor poses.
