Using Quadrics as the object representation has the benefits of both generality and closed-form projection derivation between image and world spaces. Although numerous constraints have been proposed for dual quadric reconstruction, we found that many of them are imprecise and provide minimal improve
Building accurate and reliable maps is a critical requirement for autonomous robots. In this paper, we propose UN3-Mapping, an implicit neural mapping method that enables high-quality 3D reconstruction with integrated uncertainty estimation. Our approach employs a hybrid representation: an implicit
Uncertainty in LiDAR measurements, stemming from factors such as range sensing, is crucial for LIO (LiDAR-Inertial Odometry) systems as it affects the accurate weighting in the loss function. While recent LIO systems address uncertainty related to range sensing, the impact of incident angle on uncer
Accurate and dense mapping in large-scale environments is essential for various robot applications. Recently, implicit neural signed distance fields (SDFs) have shown promising advances in this task. However, most existing approaches employ projective distances from range data as SDF supervision, in
The scale ambiguity problem is inherently unsolvable to monocular SLAM without the metric baseline between moving cameras. In this paper, we present a novel scale estimation approach based on an object-level SLAM system. To obtain the absolute scale of the reconstructed map, we formulate an optimiza…
Herein, we present a novel approach for monocular dual quadric initialization that combines three-dimensional (3D) map points with two-dimensional (2D) object detection for forward-translating camera movements. The traditional approach using 2D detection bounding boxes in multiple views fails in str
