Visual inertial odometry and lidar inertial odometry for mobile robot [PDF]

, 2021
Municipal infrastructure inspection and maintenance are vital to keep the integrity and safe operation of large-scale infrastructure such as pipelines, bridges and tunnels. For example, regular inspection and assessment of tunnels are essential to prevent any possible leakage or worse, collapse.

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Thermal Stereo Odometry for UAVs [PDF]

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2015
In the last decade, visual odometry (VO) has attracted significant research attention within the computer vision community. Most of the works have been carried out using standard visible-band cameras. These sensors offer numerous advantages but also suffer from some drawbacks such as illumination variations and limited operational time (i.e., daytime ...

Positioning and Navigation Using IMUs and Low-Cost Sensors

IEEE Open Journal of Instrumentation and Measurement
It is possible to supplement consumer navigation systems that are based solely on global navigation satellite system (GNSS) with inertial or magnetic field-based sensors so that an accurate navigation solution can be reached during periods of global ...

Towards Accurate Ground Plane Normal Estimation from Ego-Motion

Sensors, 2022
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for ground plane normal estimation of wheeled vehicles. In practice, the ground plane is dynamically changed due to braking and unstable road surface. As a result, the vehicle pose, especially the pitch angle,

CDFNet: Cross‐Modal Deep Fusion for Monocular 3D Semantic Scene Completion

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semantic scene completion (SSC) aims to predict the semantic occupancy and geometry of 3D scenes. Recently, most studies focus on camera‐based approaches due to the rich visual cues of images and the cost‐effectiveness of cameras. However, these methods usually lack efficient fusion and fine‐grained processing of cross‐modal semantic ...

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Pseudo-LiDAR for Visual Odometry

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2023
In the existing methods, LiDAR odometry shows superior performance, but visual odometry is still widely used for its price advantage. Conventionally, the task of visual odometry mainly rely on the input of continuous images. However, it is very complicated for the odometry network to learn the epipolar geometry information provided by the images.
