human, and robot) using only the input of a single or multiple cameras attached to it …

Visual navigation for mobile robots: A survey

F Bonin-Font, A Ortiz, G Oliver - Journal of intelligent and robotic systems, 2008 - Springer
Mobile robot vision-based navigation has been the source of countless research
contributions, from the domains of both vision and control. Vision is becoming more and …

Appearance-guided monocular omnidirectional visual odometry for outdoor ground vehicles

D Scaramuzza, R Siegwart - IEEE transactions on robotics, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we describe a real-time algorithm for computing the ego-motion of a vehicle
relative to the road. The algorithm uses as input only those images provided by a single …

Qualitative vision-based path following

Z Chen, ST Birchfield - IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org

upon a novel concept called the funnel lane, the coordinates of feature points during the …

Omnidirectional vision: from calibration to root motion estimation

D Scaramuzza - 2007 - research-collection.ethz.ch
For mobile robots to be able to work with and for people and thus operatein our everyday
environments, they need to be able to acquire knowledge through perception. In other words …

Qualitative vision-based mobile robot navigation

Z Chen, ST Birchfield - Proceedings 2006 IEEE International …, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a novel, simple algorithm for mobile robot navigation. Using a teach-replay
approach, the robot is manually led along a desired path in a teaching phase, then the robot …

Vins-vehicle: A tightly-coupled vehicle dynamics extension to visual-inertial state estimator

R Kang, L Xiong, M Xu, J Zhao… - 2019 IEEE Intelligent …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we propose VINS-Vehicle, a novel tightly-coupled vehicle dynamics extension
to visual-inertial navigation system (VINS) framework. Degenerate motions, such as uniform …

Visual navigation aid for the blind in dynamic environments

TS Leung, G Medioni - Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on …, 2014 - cv-foundation.org

application is a head mounted stereo system designed to help the visually impaired …

Towards visual ego-motion learning in robots

S Pillai, JJ Leonard - … on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Many model-based Visual Odometry (VO) algorithms have been proposed in the past
decade, often restricted to the type of camera optics, or the underlying motion manifold …

UAV altitude estimation by mixed stereoscopic vision

D Eynard, P Vasseur, C Demonceaux… - 2010 IEEE/RSJ …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Altitude is one of the most important parameters to be known for an Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle (UAV) especially during critical maneuvers such as landing or steady flight. In this …
