摘要：

Keeping tack of vehicle's location is one of the most challenging aspects of planetary rover operations such as the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission. For MER, a visual odometry system also called ego-motion estimation, proved to be significant. Specifically, the system has been a highly effective tool for maintaining vehicle safety while driving near obstacles on slopes, achieving difficult drive approaches in fewer sols, and ensuring accurate science imaging.
