Vision Aided Inertial Navigation for Power Line Inspection
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 1st International Conference on Applied Robotics for the Power Industry (CARPI '10), October, 2010
Abstract
We present a stereo vision-aided inertial navigation system and demonstrate its potential in power line inspection at close range using an unmanned aerial vehicle. This is made possible by recent developments in visual odometry and a newly proposed algorithm for the loose coupling of an inertial measurement unit and visual odometry. Our experiments show promising results.
