The biggest challenge of visual navigation localization is feature extraction and association. Currently, the most widely used method is simple corner feature and simple matching strategy based on SAD or NCC. Another option is scale invariant feature and rotation invariant descriptor, typically as SIFT, SURF. Feature extraction and matching methods based on the SIFT or SURF are accurate and robust. However, its computational complexity is too high and not suitable for the real-time navigation localization task. This paper presents a new fast, accurate, robust stereo vision navigation localization method, based on a new developed ORB feature and descriptor. First, we presented our matching method based on ORB. Then, we obtained matching inliers and an initial motion estimation parameters using RANSAC and three points motion estimation method. Finally, nonlinear motion refinement method was used to polish the solution. Experimental results show that our method is robust, accurate and real-time.

In this paper, a real-time stereo vision based pose and motion estimation system is presented. It is used for landing an unmanned helicopter on a moving target such as a ship deck. The vision algorithm mainly consists of a feature extraction task and a pose and motion estimation task. By the specially designed pattern of the landing target, the feature extraction algorithm can simplify the step of feature points matching of stereo system. In the task of feature extraction, the step of accurate corner detection can get to the precision of sub-pixel, which helps improve the measurement precision in state estimation. We present results from semi-physical simulation which show that our vision algorithm is accurate and robust to allow our vision sensor to be placed in the control loop of unmanned helicopter management system.

Quantitative image analysis systems have been used for several years in research and quality control applications in various fields including metallurgy and medicine. The technique has been applied as an extension of subjective microscopy to problems requiring quantitative results and which are amenable to automatic methods of interpretation.Feature extraction. In the most general sense, a feature can be defined as a portion of the image which differs in some consistent way from the background. A feature may be characterized by the density difference between itself and the background, by an edge gradient, or by the spatial frequency content (texture) within its boundaries. The task of feature extraction includes recognition of features and encoding of the associated information for quantitative analysis.Quantitative Analysis. Quantitative analysis is the determination of one or more physical measurements of each feature. These measurements may be straightforward ones such as area, length, or perimeter, or more complex stereological measurements such as convex perimeter or Feret's diameter.
