Abstract

The visual odometer (VO) is an essential part of visual navigation and plays an essential role in the position estimation of mobile robots. Currently, VO is mainly designed and implemented on PC, and it is inconvenient to test on the medium and small-sized mobile robots. In this paper, we designed the VO on Raspberry Pi microcomputer board based on Robot Operating System (ROS). We divided the VO into different parts according to the function, which is realized by the distributed parallel nodes in the ROS. The real-time performance is guaranteed by multi-nodes in the limited calculation of the Raspberry Pi, and the development mode of multi-nodes is also convenient for updating or changing the arithmetic of VO in the future. Experimental results show that the VO proposed in this paper has high accuracy and exceptional real-time performance.
