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...

Lazy localization using the Frozen-Time Smoother
— We present a new algorithm for solving the global localization problem called Frozen-Time Smoother (FTS). Time is ‘frozen’, in the sense that the belief always refers to th...
