Abstract
A device is disclosed that is configured to perform localization using one or both of a monocular camera and a depth sensor that are transportable with the device. The device includes at least one processor operationally connected to the monocular camera and the depth sensor. The device also includes at least one memory storing program code that is executed by the at least one processor to perform operations to receive image data from the monocular camera. The operations determine a benefit level of activating the depth sensor for localization, based on the image data, and activate the depth sensor for localization based on a determination that the benefit level of activating the depth sensor satisfies an activation rule. Related methods and computer program products are also disclosed.
