Robust Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a crucial enabler for autonomous navigation in natural, semi-structured environments such as parks and gardens. However, these environments present unique challenges for SLAM due to frequent seasonal changes, varying light conditions, and dense …
We address automotive odometry for low-speed driving and parking, where high accuracy is required due to tight spaces and nearby obstacles. Traditional methods using inertial-measurement units and wheel encoders require vehicle-specific calibration, making them costly for consumer-grade vehicles. To
Retrieving rare and safety-critical driving scenarios from large-scale datasets is essential for building robust autonomous driving (AD) systems. As dataset sizes continue to grow, the key challenge shifts from collecting more data to efficiently identifying the most relevant samples. We introduce S
State-of-the-art approaches for autonomous driving integrate multiple sub-tasks of the overall driving task into a single pipeline that can be trained in an end-to-end fashion by passing latent representations between the different modules. In contrast to previous approaches that rely on a unified g…
Following the tracking-by-attention paradigm, this letter introduces an object-centric, transformer-based framework for tracking in 3D. Traditional model-based tracking approaches incorporate the geometric effect of object- and ego motion between frames with a geometric motion model. Inspired by thi
"Based on the key idea of DETR this paper introduces an object-centric 3D object detection framework that operates on a limited number of 3D object queries instead of dense bounding box proposals followed by non-maximum suppression. After image feature extraction a decoder-only transformer architect…
Visual understanding of complex urban street scenes is an enabling factor for a wide range of applications. Object detection has benefited enormously from large-scale datasets, especially in the context of deep learning. For semantic urban scene understanding, however, no current dataset adequately…
