Using geometric landmarks like lines and planes can increase navigation accuracy and decrease map storage requirements compared to commonly-used LiDAR point cloud maps. However, landmark-based registration for applications like loop closure detection is challenging because a reliable initial guess i
Robust feature matching forms the backbone for most Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (vSLAM), visual odometry, 3D reconstruction, and Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithms. However, recovering feature matches from texture-poor scenes is a major challenge and still remains an open area o…
This work presents a technique for localization of a smart infrastructure node, consisting of a fisheye camera, in a prior map. These cameras can detect objects that are outside the line of sight of the autonomous vehicles (AV) and send that information to AVs using V2X technology. However, in order…
