Summary :

Pose estimation is a basic requirement for the autonomous behavior of robots. In this article we present a robust and fast visual odometry method to obtain camera poses by using RGB-D images. We first propose a motion estimation method based on sparse geometric constraint and derive the analytic Jacobian of the geometric cost function to improve the convergence performance, then we use our motion estimation method to replace the tracking thread in ORB-SLAM for improving its runtime performance. Experimental results show that our method is twice faster than ORB-SLAM while keeping the similar accuracy.
