The invention discloses a feature
point tracking method based on an event camera, and aims to improve the feature
point tracking precision. According to the technical scheme, the feature
point tracking system based on the event camera is composed of a
data acquisition module, an initialization module, an event set selection module, a matching module, a feature point updating module and a templateedge updating module. The initialization module extracts feature points and an edge graph from the
image frame. The event set selection module selects an event set S of the feature points from the event flow around the feature point. The matching module matches the S with the template edge around the feature points to solve an
optical flow set Gk of n feature points at the moment tk. The feature point updating module calculates a position set FDk + 1 of the n feature points at the tk + 1 moment according to the Gk, and the template edge updating module updates the positions in the PBDk by using IMU data to obtain a position set PBDk + 1 of template edges corresponding to the n feature points at the tk + 1 moment. By adopting the method, the precision of tracking the feature points on the
event stream can be improved, and the average tracking time of the feature points can be prolonged.
