description Positioning information has become one of the most important information for processing and displaying on smart mobile devices. In this paper, we propose a visual positioning method using RGB-D image on smart mobile devices. Firstly, the pose of each image in the training set is calculated through feature extraction and description, image registration, and pose map optimization. Then, in the image retrieval stage, the training set and the query set are clustered to generate the vector of local aggregated descriptors (VLAD) description vector. In order to overcome the problem that the description vector loses the image color information and improve the retrieval accuracy under different lighting conditions, the opponent color information and depth information are added to the description vector for retrieval. Finally, using the point cloud corresponding to the retrieval result image and its pose, the pose of the retrieved image is calculated by perspective-n-point (PnP) method. The results of indoor scene positioning under different illumination conditions show that the proposed method not only improves the positioning accuracy compared with the original VLAD and ORB-SLAM2, but also has high computational efficiency.
