Abstract:
Various embodiments disclose a device with one or more processors which may be configured to translate a RADAR velocity map in at least one image plane of at least one camera, to form a three-dimensional RADAR velocity image. The 3D RADAR velocity image includes a relative velocity of each pixel in the one or more images, and the relative velocity of each pixel is based on a RADAR velocity estimate in the three-dimensional RADAR velocity map. The one or more processors may be configured to determine whether visual features correspond to a moving object based on the relative velocity of each pixel determined, and may be configured to remove the visual features that correspond to a moving object, prior to providing them as an input into a state updater, in a RADAR-aided visual inertial odometer.
