Visual Odometry

Estimating the robot's incremental motion by tracking visual features across consecutive camera frames. Visual odometry (VO) computes the relative pose change from feature matches using epipolar geometry (for stereo) or PnP (for monocular with depth). It provides smooth, drift-accumulating motion estimates that are fused with other sensors in a SLAM or state estimation pipeline.
