SVO is a semi-direct monocular visual odometry pipeline written in C++ that estimates camera motion from image sequences. It is research code from the University of Zurich Robotics and Perception Group, released under GPLv3 with a commercial edition available.

Use cases

  • estimate camera trajectory from monocular video
  • visual odometry for drone navigation
  • track camera pose in real time on a robot
  • benchmark SLAM/odometry algorithms
  • build state estimation for micro aerial vehicles

When to choose

  • you need fast, lightweight monocular visual odometry on Linux with ROS
  • you are doing robotics research on state estimation and want a citable baseline
  • you work with micro aerial vehicles and limited compute

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software - the last release was 2019 and it targets old ROS/Ubuntu versions
  • you need stereo, RGB-D, or full SLAM with loop closure
  • you need a permissively licensed library for a commercial product without contacting the authors
