HEAD BASED TRACKING

摘要

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) solves the computational problem of estimating the location of a robot and the map of the environment. SLAM is widely used in the area of navigation, odometry, and mobile robot mapping. However, the performance and efficiency of the small industrial mobile robots and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are highly constrained to the battery capacity. Therefore, a mobile robot, especially a UAV, requires low power consumption while maintaining high performance. This paper demonstrates holistic and quantitative performance evaluations of embedded computing devices that run on the Nvidia Jetson platform. Evaluations are based on the execution of two state-of-the-art Visual SLAM algorithms, ORB-SLAM2 and OpenVSLAM, on Nvidia Jetson Nano, Nvidia Jetson TX2, and Nvidia Jetson Xavier.
