Visual loop closing using multi-resolution SIFT grids in metric-topological SLAM
We present an image-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) framework with online, appearanceonly loop closing. We adopt a layered approach with metric maps over small ...

A CAVE system for interactive modeling of global illumination in car interior
Global illumination dramatically improves realistic appearance of rendered scenes, but usually it is neglected in VR systems due to its high costs. In this work we present an effi...

Relative Pose Estimation for Instrumented, Calibrated Imaging Platforms
Abstract. Recent efforts in robust estimation of the two-view relation have focused on uncalibrated cameras with no prior knowledge of pose. However, in practice robotic vehicles t...
