Comparison of Three Off-the-Shelf Visual Odometry Systems

open access: yesRobotics, 2020
Positioning is an essential aspect of robot navigation, and visual odometry an important technique for continuous updating the internal information about robot position, especially indoors without GPS (Global Positioning System). Visual odometry is using

Visual and Visual‐Inertial SLAM Based on Enhanced Deep Learning Features and Motion Smoothness Constraints

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A visual and visual‐inertial simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm, leveraging enhanced deep learning features and motion smoothness constraints, is proposed in this research work. This method retains the advantages of geometry‐based SLAM methods while effectively utilizing the powerful representational capabilities of data‐driven ...

xVIO: A Range-Visual-Inertial Odometry Framework

open access: yesCoRR, 2020
xVIO is a range-visual-inertial odometry algorithm implemented at JPL. It has been demonstrated with closed-loop controls on-board unmanned rotorcraft equipped with off-the-shelf embedded computers and sensors. It can operate at daytime with visible-spectrum cameras, or at night time using thermal infrared cameras.

Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

Online Refractive Camera Model Calibration in Visual Inertial Odometry [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper presents a general refractive camera model and online co-estimation of odometry and the refractive index of unknown media. This enables operation in diverse and varying refractive fluids, given only the camera calibration in air.
