Abstract
A motion determination system is disclosed. The system may receive a first camera image and a second camera image. The system may receive a first range image corresponding to the first camera image. The system may generate a first range map by fusing the first camera image and the first range image. The system may iteratively process a plurality of first features in the first range map to determine a change in position of the machine. The plurality of second features may correspond to the plurality of first features, and each of the plurality of first and second features is denoted by feature points in an image space of the camera.
