Revision history [back]

Viso2 has been developed for forward looking cameras in cars. For mono VO it needs the camera pitch and distance to the ground to estimate the scale (it does a ground plane estimation with those parameters). For downward looking cameras from drones lsd_slam should be better suited. See also http://www.ros.org/news/2014/12/ardrone-autonomous-indoor-navigation-by-3d-slam.html
