Estimation of the robot path and mapping of the surrounding environment are some of the most important tasks for a planetary exploration vehicle. Probabilistic SLAM algorithms fulfill these tasks improving the accuracy of the estimations the more and more the same landscape is observed. In this paper two algorithms based on stereo vision and monocular vision are compared on multiple datasets to prove the feasibility of the use of a single camera giving the benefits of mass and complexity reduction of an exploration vehicle. Monocular vision is also suitable to be implemented in UAV applications for planetary exploration purposes. It is investigated the benefit provided by observing an environment rotating the view direction from the direction of forward motion highlighting the best and worst case scenario for monocular vision compared to stereo vision.
