ImLPR: Image-based LiDAR Place Recognition using Vision Foundation Models

CoRL 2025poster

LiDAR Place Recognition (LPR) is a key component in robotic localization, enabling robots to align current scans with prior maps of their environment. While Visual Place Recognition (VPR) has embraced Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) to enhance descriptor robustness, LPR has relied on task-specific m…

SiLVR: Scalable Lidar-Visual Reconstruction with Neural Radiance Fields for Robotic Inspection

ICRA 2024poster

We present a neural-field-based large-scale reconstruction system that fuses lidar and vision data to generate high-quality reconstructions that are geometrically accurate and capture photo-realistic textures. This system adapts the state-of-the-art neural radiance field (NeRF) representation to als…

Batch Differentiable Pose Refinement for In-The-Wild Camera/LiDAR Extrinsic Calibration

CoRL 2023poster

Accurate camera to LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) extrinsic calibration is important for robotic tasks carrying out tight sensor fusion --- such as target tracking and odometry. Calibration is typically performed before deployment in controlled conditions using calibration targets, however, thi…

Extrinsic Calibration of Camera to LIDAR Using a Differentiable Checkerboard Model

IROS 2023poster

Multi-modal sensing often involves determining correspondences between each domain's signals, which in turn depends on the accurate extrinsic calibration of the sensors. Challengingly, the camera-LIDAR sensor modalities are quite dissimilar and the narrow field of view of most commercial LIDARs mean…

Hilti-Oxford Dataset: A Millimeter-Accurate Benchmark for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping

RA-L 2023

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is being deployed in real-world applications, however many state-of-the-art solutions still struggle in many common scenarios. A key necessity in progressing SLAM research is the availability of high-quality datasets and fair and transparent benchmarking.
