METRIC SCALE CALCULATION FOR VISUAL MAPPING ALGORITHMS

Visual SLAM algorithms allow localizing the camera by mapping its environment by a point cloud based on visual cues. To obtain the camera locations in a metric coordinate system, the metric scale of the point cloud has to be known. This contribution describes a method to calculate the metric scale f...
