This letter presents a robust, real-time visual odometry that efficiently exploits the available visual and geometry cues from RGB-D frames for both tracking and mapping. Together with a hybrid tracking algorithm based on a joint multi-objective formulation, we additionally incorporate the point-to-
This letter presents a hybrid framework, both in front-end and back-end, for monocular simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), capable of utilizing the robustness of feature matching and the accuracy of direct alignment. In the front-end, the feature-based method is first used for coarse pose
To date, the assembly of optical systems is still not fully automated. Automated assembly can be facilitated by having an optical simulation at hand, which, in turn, requires knowledge about the current state of the optical system. Due to the strict demands on the positioning tolerances, the uncerta
Industrial robotic manipulators can be augmented by a micro-positioning unit in order to increase their precision resulting in a so called macro-micro-manipulator. The micro-positioning unit is typically driven by piezoelectric actuators due to their beneficial properties. However, contact forces du…
