Using symmetrical regions of interest to improve visual SLAM
— Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) based on visual information is a challenging problem. One of the main problems with visual SLAM is to find good quality landmarks,...

Robust Visual Tracking Based on an Effective Appearance Model
Most existing appearance models for visual tracking usually construct a pixel-based representation of object appearance so that they are incapable of fully capturing both global an...

Gamma-SLAM: Using stereo vision and variance grid maps for SLAM in unstructured environments
— We introduce a new method for stereo visual SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) that works in unstructured, outdoor environments. Unlike other gridbased SLAM algorithm...
