Hello,

I'm trying to learn more about the general concept of rgbdslam. Let's say I found a rigid body transformation (represented by a 4x4 matrix) between two consecutive frames (more precisely, between the feature sets of these, if I understand correctly) by using RANSAC, how can I use this to calculate the transformation that represents the change in pose between these two frames?

Thanks in advance!

It is the inverse. The features are in the respective coordinate frames of the camera positions. So a transformation that moves the features from the first camera coordinate system to the second moves the second camera pose to the pose where it was in the first frame.

Edit: Correction.

But if the camera moves towards some features (so that they come nearer, their z values decrease), then the feature-transform would be one that moves every point in opposite z direction. But the position of the camera itself (seen from a global coord. sys.) would have moved forward in this example.

Yes, you are right, it is vice versa.
