A NOVEL STATE PARAMETRIZATION FOR STEREO-SLAM

Arne Petersen, Reinhard Koch

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel parametrization for probabilistic stereo SLAM algorithms. It is optimized to fulfill the assumption of Gaussian probability distributions for system errors. Moreover it makes full use of the contraints induced by stereo vision and provides a close to linear observation model. Therefore the position and orientation are estimated incremetally. The parametrization of landmarks is chosen as the landmarks projection in the master camera and its disparity to the projection in the slave camera. This way a minimal parametrization is given, that is predestinated for linear probabilistic estimators.
