In this paper, we introduce IDOL, an optimization-based framework for IMU-DVS Odometry using Lines. Event cameras, also called Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVSs), generate highly asynchronous streams of events triggered upon illumination changes for each individual pixel. This novel paradigm presents advantages in low illumination conditions and high-speed motions. Nonetheless, this unconventional sens...
