Abstract

Interest point detectors are the starting point in image analysis for depth estimation using epipolar geometry and camera ego-motion estimation. With several detectors defined in the literature, some of them outperforming others in a specific application context, we introduce Multi-Feature Sample Consensus (MuFeSaC) as an adaptive and automatic procedure to choose a reliable feature detector among competing ones. Our approach is derived based on model selection criteria that we demonstrate for mobile robot self-localization in outdoor environments consisting of both man-made structures and natural vegetation.
