In this paper we present a tutorial introduction to two important senses for biological and
robotic systems—inertial and visual perception. We discuss the fundamentals of these two …

This paper describes some of the work on stereo that has been going on at INRIA in the last
four years. The work has concentrated on obtaining dense, accurate, and reliable range …

In this paper measurements from a monocular vision system are fused with inertial/magnetic
measurements from an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) rigidly connected to the camera …

This paper explores the combination of inertial sensor data with vision. Visual and inertial
sensing are two sensory modalities that can be explored to give robust solutions on image …

This paper proposes a method of detecting movable paths for visual navigation of mobile
robots. The algorithm is to detect and segment the ground floor by computing plane normals …

ABSTRACT A mobile robot is the most suited element to bring scientific instruments to a
specific site in order to examine geology, mineralogy or exobiology on extraterrestrial …

The utility of using inertial data for the structure-from-motion (SfM) problem is addressed. We
show how inertial data can be used for improved noise resistance, reduction of inherent …

One of the biggest obstacles to building effective augmented reality (AR) systems is the lack
of accurate sensors that report the location of the user in an environment during arbitrary …

The authors develop a method of recovery of some aspects of the 3-D structure and motion
of a scene in the case of a virtual moving observer with visual and odometric sensors. This …

T. Viéville: A Few Steps Towards 3D Active Vision appears as Vol. 33 in the Springer Series
in Information Sciences. A specific problem in the field of active vision is analyzed, namely …
