Visual SLAM (VSLAM) has been develo** rapidly due to its advantages of low-cost
sensors, the easy fusion of other sensors, and richer environmental information. Traditional …

The development of navigation tools for people who are visually impaired had become an
important concern in the research area of assistive technologies. This paper gives a …

We present a real-time algorithm which can recover the 3D trajectory of a monocular
camera, moving rapidly through a previously unknown scene. Our system, which we dub …

In this paper, we present incremental smoothing and map** (iSAM), which is a novel
approach to the simultaneous localization and map** problem that is based on fast …

As the fastest growing segment of aviation, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) continue to
increase in number, technical complexity and capabilities. Numerous civilian and …

This paper addresses reliable and accurate indoor localization using inertial sensors
commonly found on commodity smartphones. We believe indoor positioning is an important …

We present an indoor positioning system that measures location using disturbances of the
Earth's magnetic field caused by structural steel elements in a building. The presence of …

Autonomous vehicles integrate complex software stacks for realizing the necessary iterative
perception, planning, and action operations. One of the foundational layers of such stacks is …

The evolution of production systems has established major challenges in internal logistics.
In order to overcome these challenges, new automation solutions have been developed and …

This paper describes a biologically inspired approach to vision-only simultaneous
localization and map** (SLAM) on ground-based platforms. The core SLAM system …
