An optical navigation sensor for micro aerial vehicles
This paper describes a catadioptric microsensor for multidirectional imaging and 3D egomotion computation. Inspired by the wide viewing angle of insects’ compound eyes, we show ...

Rotation Estimation from Spherical Images
Robotic navigation algorithms increasingly make use of the panoramic field of view provided by omnidirectional images to assist with localization tasks. Since the images taken by ...

Image Mapping and Visual Attention on a Sensory Ego-Sphere
Abstract— The Sensory Ego-Sphere (SES) is a short-term memory for a robot in the form of an egocentric, tessellated, spherical, sensory-motor map of the robot’s locale. This pa...

Visual navigation and obstacle avoidance using a steering potential function
Humans have a remarkable ability to navigate using only vision, but mobile robots have not been nearly as successful. We propose a new approach to vision-guided local navigation, ...
