Manhattan Worlds Odometry (MWO)

This package provides a Matlab implementation of ACCV2016 paper: "Divide and Conquer: Effcient Density-Based Tracking of 3D Sensors in Manhattan Worlds" for the purpose of study.

• preprocessing

  Computing the 3D patches (super point cloud) in advance for efficient experiment.

• tracking

  Core functions of the motion estimation algorithm.

• evaluation

  A script for evaluating the result and outputing figures.

Installation

choose a proper directory and clone by: 

git clone https://github.com/Ethan-Zhou/MWO.git

Usage

• Download a dataset from https://vision.in.tum.de/data/datasets/rgbd-dataset/download, fr3 cabinet is recommanded.

• Run preprocessing/Preprocessing.m which gives you 3D patches saved as independent .mat files.

• Run tracking/main.m which will give you the 3D motion estimation result.

• You can tune parameters in load_param_MFVO. Have fun!
