Neural implicit surface representation methods have recently shown impressive 3D reconstruction results. However, existing solutions struggle to reconstruct driving scenes due to their large size, highly complex nature and limited visual observation overlap.Hence, to achieve accurate reconstructions…
Reliable multimodal sensor fusion algorithms require accurate spatiotemporal calibration. Recently, targetless calibration techniques based on implicit neural representations have proven to provide precise and robust results. Nevertheless, such methods are inherently slow to train given the high com…
In rapidly-evolving domains such as autonomous driving the use of multiple sensors with different modalities is crucial to ensure high operational precision and stability. To correctly exploit the provided information by each sensor in a single common frame it is essential for these sensors to be ac…
"Implicit neural representation methods have shown impressive advancements in learning 3D scenes from unstructured in-the-wild photo collections but are still limited by the large computational cost of volumetric rendering. Recently, 3D Gaussian Splatting emerged as a much faster alternative with su…
Beyond novel view synthesis, Neural Radiance Fields are useful for applications that interact with the real world. In this paper, we use them as an implicit map of a given scene and propose a camera relocalization algorithm tailored for this representation. The proposed method enables to compute in…
With the recent advances in autonomous driving and the decreasing cost of LiDARs, the use of multimodal sensor systems is on the rise. However, in order to make use of the information provided by a variety of complimentary sensors, it is necessary to accurately calibrate them. We take advantage of r…
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have recently demonstrated photorealistic results for the task of novel view synthesis. In this paper, we propose to apply novel view synthesis to the robot relocalization problem: we demonstrate improvement of camera pose regression thanks to an additional synthetic da…
We propose a new approach for outdoor large scale image based localization that can deal with challenging scenarios like cross-season, cross-weather, day/night and long-term localization. The key component of our method is a new learned global image descriptor, that can effectively benefit from scen…
This paper considers collaborative stereo-vision as a mean of localization for a fleet of micro-air vehicles (MAV) equipped with monocular cameras, inertial measurement units and sonar sensors. A sensor fusion scheme using an extended Kalman filter is designed to estimate the positions and orientati
