Autonomous vehicles face significant challenges in executing emergency obstacle avoidance maneuvers beyond conventional driving limits. Previous approaches, relying on vehicle dynamics modeling or simplified learning methods, often struggle with generalization to diverse scenarios. This paper presen
Accurate positioning is essential for autonomous driving, but localization using 2D maps is challenging due to the domain gap between perspective view and 2D map. While GNSS accuracy is often limited by atmospheric effects, multipath, and signal blockages. We propose a novel positioning method that
Visual odometry (VO) system is challenged by complex illumination environments. Image quality and its consistency in the time domain directly determine feature detection and tracking performance, which further affect the robustness and accuracy of the entire system. In this paper, an image acquisiti…
The rotation orthonormalization on the special orthogonal group \text{SO}(n)\text{SO}(n), also known as the high dimensional nearest rotation problem, has been revisited. A new generalized simple iterative formula has been proposed that solves this problem in a completely rational manner. Rational o…
Surface normal holds significant importance in visual environmental perception, serving as a source of rich geometric information. However, the state-of-the-art (SoTA) surface normal estimators (SNEs) generally suffer from an unsatisfactory trade-off between efficiency and accuracy. To resolve this…
This letter proposes three-filters-to-normal (3F2N), an accurate and ultrafast surface normal estimator (SNE), which is designed for structured range sensor data, e.g., depth/disparity images. 3F2N SNE computes surface normals by simply performing three filtering operations (two image gradient filte
