Computing accurate depth from multiple views is a fundamental and longstanding challenge in computer vision.However, most existing approaches do not generalize well across different domains and scene types (e.g. indoor vs outdoor). Training a general-purpose multi-view stereo model is challenging an…
Metric depth estimation from visual sensors is crucial for robots to perceive, navigate, and interact with their environment. Traditional range imaging setups, such as stereo or structured light cameras, face hassles including calibration, occlusions, and hardware demands, with accuracy limited by t
The task of Visual Place Recognition (VPR) aims to match a query image against references from an extensive database of images from different places relying solely on visual cues. State-of-the-art pipelines focus on the aggregation of features extracted from a deep backbone in order to form a global…
Estimating a dense depth map from a single view is geometrically ill-posed, and state-of-the-art methods rely on learning depth's relation with visual appearance using deep neural networks. On the other hand, Structure from Motion (SfM) leverages multi-view constraints to produce very accurate but s…
Visual Servoing has been effectively used to move a robot into specific target locations or to track a recorded demonstration. It does not require manual programming, but it is typically limited to settings where one demonstration maps to one environment state. We propose a modular approach to exten…
