Visual odometry uses a camera feed to dictate how your autonomous vehicle or device moves through space. Each camera frame uses visual odometry to look at key points in the frame. From there, it is able to tell you if your device or vehicle moved forward or backward, or left and right. It adds this information to any other type of odometry being used, such as wheel odometry. Wheel odometry tells how quickly your wheels are turning and at what rates to tell if you are moving forward or turning.

More and more off-the-shelf products are appearing in the market. It is important to have someone developing vSLAM because it is still vastly under-researched. The last thing you want is a problem integrating with your system.

If you have someone on your team who can work with vSLAM or if you have a product that can work with it, it can save countless hours of research, development, and prototyping.
