Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) plays an important role in robot autonomy. Reliability and efficiency are the two most valued features for applying SLAM in robot applications. In this letter, we consider achieving a reliable LiDAR-based SLAM function in computation-limited platforms, su
This paper presents a road detection technique based on long-wave infrared (LWIR) polarization imaging for autonomous navigation regardless of illumination conditions, day and night. Division of Focal Plane (DoFP) imaging technology enables acquisition of infrared polarization images in real time us…
In complex environments, the presence or absence of multipath signals not only depends on the relative motion between the GNSS receiver and navigation satellites, but also on the environment where the receiver is located. Thus it is difficult to use a specific propagation model to accurately capture…
Optimal determination of a UAV using a vision-based system to match images against a database is an important problem. It can be reformulated to the problem of using multiregion scene registration to match areas of a noisy and distorted image to a geo-referenced image. Under the assumptions that the…
We present a drift-free pose estimation scheme for rigid body and its supporting platform by fusing only two gyroscopes and the relative complementary measurements. The fusion design not only provides robust relative attitude estimation between the rigid body and the platform, but also is capable of…
