Abstract
A method for estimating a location of a device uses a color image and a depth image. The method includes matching the color image to the depth image, generating a 3D reference image based on the matching, generating a 3D object image based on the matching, extracting a 2D reference feature point from the reference image, extracting a 2D reference feature point from the object image, matching the extracted reference feature point from the reference image to the extracted reference feature point from the object image, extracting a 3D feature point from the object image using the matched 2D reference feature point, and estimating the location of the device based on the extracted 3D feature point.
