Abstract :
In this paper we present a method that uses a single camera as a passive sensor for location estimation. The implementation is focused on the image processing techniques and dissimilarity measurement. Experimental results have indicated that good state estimates could be obtained, considering very little use of visual information. Consequently, popular cameras can be perceived as a simple and interesting solution for visual odometry and present very promising possibility in autonomous navigation.
