Thermal infrared cameras are increasingly being used in various applications such as robot vision, industrial inspection and medical imaging, thanks to their improved resolution and portability. However, the performance of traditional computer vision techniques developed for electro-optical imagery
Robust autonomous flight without GPS is key to many emerging drone applications, such as delivery, search and rescue, and warehouse inspection. These and other applications require accurate trajectory tracking through cluttered static environments, where GPS can be unreliable, while high-speed, agil…
Use of low-cost depth sensors, such as a stereo camera setup with illuminators, is of particular interest for numerous applications ranging from robotics and transportation to mixed and augmented reality. The ability to quantify noise is crucial for these applications, e.g., when the sensor is used…
3-D perception of scenes with specular surfaces is still challenging for robotics applications in urban areas, for both active and passive range sensors; there is a need for improved solutions that work without artificial illumination over a wide range of distances. The advent of cameras with microg…
Activity recognition is very useful in scenarios where robots interact with, monitor, or assist humans. In the past years many <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">types</i> of activities—single actions, two persons interactions or ego-cen
Fusing data from multiple sensors on-board a mobile platform can significantly augment its state estimation abilities and enable autonomous traversals of different domains by adapting to changing signal availabilities. However, due to the need for accurate calibration and initialization of the senso
