Abstract
A visual positioning method and a mobile machine using the same are provided. The method includes: extracting a plurality of corner feature points corresponding to a current image; determining whether a distance between each pair of the plurality of corner feature points is less than a first preset threshold; if yes, determining whether a grayscale value of each of the plurality of corner feature points with the distance less than the first preset threshold is within a second preset threshold range; if yes, obtaining cluster set(s) of the corner feature points; screening a plurality of valid feature points from the cluster set(s); determining a positioning reliability based on a ratio of amount of the valid feature points to an amount of the plurality of corner feature points; and if the positioning reliability is within a preset range, performing a visual positioning based on the positioning reliability.
