Abstract
The method and system disclosed herein presents a method and system for capturing, by a camera disposed on a device moving in an environment, a plurality of image frames recorded in a first coordinate reference frame at respective locations within a portion of the environment in a first time period; capturing, by an inertial measurement unit disposed on the device, sets of inertial odometry data recorded in a second coordinate reference frame; determining a rotational transformation matrix that corresponds to a relative rotation between the first reference frame and the second reference frame; and determining a scale factor from the matching pairs of image frames. The rotational transformation matrix defines an orientation of the device, and the scale factor and the rotational transformation matrix calibrate the plurality of image frames captured by the camera.
