Visual Place Recognition (VPR) in indoor environments is beneficial to humans and robots for better localization and navigation. It is challenging due to appearance changes at various frequencies, and difficulties of obtaining ground truth metric trajectories for training and evaluation. This paper…
Object detection is a fundamental task for autonomous driving, which aim to identify and localize objects within an image. Deep learning has made great strides for object detection, with popular models including Faster R-CNN, YOLO, and SSD. The detection accuracy and computational cost of object det
Visual place recognition (VPR) is critical in not only localization and mapping for autonomous driving vehicles, but also assistive navigation for the visually impaired population. To enable a long-term VPR system on a large scale, several challenges need to be addressed. First, different applicatio…
Spatial cognition, as gained through the sense of vision, is one of the most important capabilities of human beings. However, for the visually impaired (VI), lack of this perceptual capability poses great challenges in their life. Therefore, we have designed Point-to-Tell-and-Touch, a wearable syste…
