We present LuVo, an initialization-free stereo visual odometry (VO) method developed for the VIPER lunar rover. We provide a novel stereo registration method using LightGlue image feature matching in a warped, locally planar space that improves matching robustness to larger baseline stereo sequences
Wild-land fire fighting is a hazardous job. A key task for firefighters is to observe the “fire front” to chart the progress of the fire and areas it will likely spread next. Lack of information of the fire front causes many accidents. Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to cover wildfire is promis…
This paper describes a structured light-based sensor for hazard avoidance in planetary environments. The system presented here can also be used in terrestrial applications constrained by reduced onboard power and computational complexity and low illumination conditions. The sensor consists on a cali…
