mrpt::vision::CDifodo Class Referenceabstract

Detailed Description

This abstract class implements a method called "Difodo" to perform Visual odometry with range cameras.

It is based on the range flow equation and assumes that the scene is rigid. It can work with different image resolutions (640 x 480, 320 x 240 or 160 x 120) and a different number of coarse-to-fine levels which can be adjusted with the member variables (rows,cols,ctf_levels).

How to use:
