Abstract
Visual odometry can be used to estimate the pose of a robot from current and recent video frames. A problem with these methods is that they drift over time due to the accumulation of estimation errors at each time-step. In this short paper we propose and briefly demonstrate the potential benefit of using prior 2D, top-down map information combined with multiple hypothesis particle filtering to correct visual odometry estimates. The results demonstrate a substantial improvement in robustness and accuracy over the sole use of visual odometry.
