contents In the field of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), researchers have always pursued better performance in terms of accuracy and time cost. Traditional algorithms typically rely on fundamental geometric elements in images to establish connections between frames. However, these elements suffer from disadvantages such as uneven distribution and slow extraction. In addition, geometry elements like lines have not been fully utilized in the process of pose estimation. To address these challenges, we propose GFS-VO, a grid-based RGB-D visual odometry algorithm that maximizes the utilization of both point and line features. Our algorithm incorporates fast line extraction and a stable line homogenization scheme to improve feature processing. To fully leverage hidden elements in the scene, we introduce Manhattan Axes (MA) to provide constraints between local map and current frame. Additionally, we have designed an algorithm based on breadth-first search for extracting plane normal vectors. To evaluate the performance of GFS-VO, we conducted extensive experiments. The results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm exhibits significant improvements in both time cost and accuracy compared to existing approaches.
