DSO (Direct Sparse Odometry)

Direct Sparse Odometry (DSO) is a method used in robotics and computer vision for real-time mapping and navigation. It works by analyzing specific points in an environment, rather than using a full image. This approach allows a device, like a drone or a robot, to track its position and build a 3D map efficiently, even in complex settings. DSO focuses on keeping computational demands low while maintaining accuracy, making it suitable for devices with limited processing power, like smartphones or drones, to understand and navigate their surroundings effectively.
