Learning ad-hoc Compact Representations from Salient Landmarks for Visual Place Recognition in Underwater Environments

ICRA 2019poster

In this paper, we propose an approach to learn compact representations from salient landmarks detected by a visual attention algorithm to recognize previously visited places in underwater environments. Instead of using hand-crafted local descriptors as it has been typically done in visual place reco…

Ethologically inspired reactive exploration of coral reefs with collision avoidance: Bridging the gap between human and robot spatial understanding of unstructured environments

IROS 2015poster

We present a behavioral approach for autonomous robotic exploration of marine habitat with collision avoidance given little or no prior information. In our previous work, a vision-based reactive navigation paradigm with a predefined forward direction allowed an underwater robot to avoid unexpected o…
