As autonomous systems evolve, the precise calibration of lidar and camera sensors remains a pivotal concern. Among the myriad of available techniques, target-based calibration methods, which employ planar boards with distinct geometry and image patterns, have been a popular choice. These methods sim…
The Lucas-Kanade (LK) method is a classic iterative homography estimation algorithm for image alignment, but often suffers from poor local optimality especially when image pairs have large distortions. To address this challenge, in this paper we propose a novel Deep Star-Convexified Lucas-Kanade (PR…
Clustering objects from the LiDAR point cloud is an important research problem with many applications such as autonomous driving. To meet the real-time requirement, existing research proposed to apply the connected-component-labeling (CCL) technique on LiDAR spherical range image with a heuristic co…
LiDAR depth completion is a task that predicts depth values for every pixel on the corresponding camera frame, although only sparse LiDAR points are available. Most of the existing state-of-the-art solutions are based on deep neural networks, which need a large amount of data and heavy computations
Estimating homography to align image pairs captured by different sensors or image pairs with large appearance changes is an important and general challenge for many computer vision applications. In contrast to others, we propose a generic solution to pixel-wise align multimodal image pairs by extend…
Projecting the point cloud on the 2D spherical range image transforms the LiDAR semantic segmentation to a 2D segmentation task on the range image. However, the LiDAR range image is still naturally different from the regular 2D RGB image; for example, each position on the range image encodes the uni…
To learn distinguishable patterns, most of recent works in vehicle re-identification (ReID) struggled to redevelop official benchmarks to provide various supervisions, which requires prohibitive human labors. In this paper, we seek to achieve the similar goal but do not involve more human efforts. T…
In contrast to the literature where local patterns in 3D point clouds are captured by customized convolutional operators, in this paper we study the problem of how to effectively and efficiently project such point clouds into a 2D image space so that traditional 2D convolutional neural networks (CNN…
This paper presents an FPGA-based prototype of the dual link algorithm that maximize the achievable weighted sum rate for MIMO interference network. The iterative algorithm is fast monotone convergent but it must be completed quickly through pilot signaling. Therefore we propose an FPGA-based implem…
