Visual Loop Closure Detection for a Future Mars Science Helicopter

Alexander Dietsche, Lionel Ott, Roland Siegwart, Roland Brockers

RA-L 2022

Future Mars Rotorcrafts will require the ability to precisely navigate to previously visited locations in order to return to a safe landing site or execute precise scientific measurements, such as sample acquisition or targeted sensing. To enable a future Mars Science Helicopter to perform in-flight

Powerline Tracking with Event Cameras

Alexander Dietsche, Giovanni Cioffi, Javier Hidalgo-Carrió, Davide Scaramuzza

IROS 2021poster

Autonomous inspection of powerlines with quadrotors is challenging. Flights require persistent perception to keep a close look at the lines. We propose a method that uses event cameras to robustly track powerlines. Event cameras are inherently robust to motion blur, have low latency, and high dynami…
