| 2016-05-23 16:39:32 -0600 | asked a question | What is meant by "scale" in case of monocular visual odometry? The following are 2 reasons why monocular visual odometry is not the best option: 1) Results from monocular sequences can only be recovered up to a 'scale'; without additional information, absolute measurements are not possible.src 2) All pose estimates from a mono VO algorithm are relative to some unknown 'scaling factor'.src Can someone please explain what exactly is meant by the 'scaling factor' and how does it affect visual odometry? Thanks |
