Abstract— Map information is important for path planning and self-localization when mobile robots accomplish autonomous tasks. In unknown environments, mobile robots should gener...
Most pose (3D position and 3D orientation) tracking methods using vision require a priori knowledge about the environment and correspondences between 3D environment features and 2...
We describe a linear-time algorithm that recovers absolute camera orientations and positions, along with uncertainty estimates, for networks of terrestrial image nodes spanning hun...
As the capabilities of video standards and receiver hardware are increasing towards integrated 3d animations, generating realistic content is now becoming a limiting factor. In th...
In this paper, efficient and generic tools for calibration and 3D reconstruction are presented. These tools exploit geometric constraints frequently present in man-made environmen...
