Planar-based visual inertial navigation

open access: yes2015 International Conference on Location and GNSS (ICL-GNSS), 2015
This paper investigates the problem of visual-inertial navigation. The proposed navigation system integrates inertial information from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) with visual data from a camera to provide relative pose estimation for a system which is navigating in an unknown structural environment.

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
