We introduce DualMap, an online open-vocabulary mapping system that enables robots to understand and navigate dynamically changing environments through natural language queries. Designed for efficient semantic mapping and adaptability to changing environments, DualMap meets the essential requirement…
Traditional Visual Odometry (VO) methods that utilize visible cameras frequently degrade in challenging illumination environments. Alternative vision sensors such as thermal cameras are promising for all-day navigation since the delivered thermal images are invariant to ambient illumination. However
In recent years, longwave infrared (LWIR) cameras have become potential in visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) research since the delivered thermal images can provide information beyond the visible spectrum and are robust to environment illumination. However, due to modality differen
