Chinese Ancient Architecture Image Database
Published:
The datasets have two parts, one part consists of laser scan data and corresponding image data which used to compare the accuracy and completeness with the different reconstruction methods, the other consists of the image collections of the typical ancient architectures in the four Buddhist mountains (Mount Wutai, Mount Emei, Mount Jiuhua, Mount Puto) and two Taoist mountains (Mount Wudang, Mount Qingcheng) 
A large scale dataset for indoor visual localization with high precise ground truth
Published:
We present a challenging new dataset for indoor localization research. We have recorded the whole internal structure of Fengtai Wanda Plaza which is over 15800 square meters area with a Navvis M6 device. The dataset contains 679 RGBD panoramas and 2664 query images collected by three different smartphones. In addition to the data, aligned 3D point cloud is produced after the elimination of moving objects based on the building floorplan. Furthermore, a method is provided to generate corresponding high resolution depth images for each panorama. By fixing the smartphones on the device using a specially designed bracket, 6 degree of freedom camera poses can be calculated precisely. We believe it can give a new benchmark for indoor visual localization.

Visual-Inertial Odometry Tightly Coupled with Wheel Encoder Adopting Robust Initialization and Online Extrinsic Calibration
Published:
Combining camera, IMU and wheel encoder is a wise choice for car positioning because of the low cost and complementarity of the sensors. We propose a novel extended visual-inertial odometry algorithm tightly fusing data from the above three sensors. Firstly we propose an IMU-odometer pre-integration approach [Read More]
Boosting image-based localization via randomly geometric data augmentation
Published:
Visual localization is a fundamental problem in computer vision and robotics. Recently, deep learning has shown to be effective for robust monocular localization. Most deep learning-based methods utilize convolution neural network (CNN) to regress global 6 degree-of-freedom (Dof) pose. However, these methods suffer from [Read More]
Dynamic object-aware monocular visual odometry with local and global information aggregation
Published:
In this paper, we present a deep learning-based approach to monocular visual odometry. We propose a LCGR(Local Convolution and Global RNN) module which utilizes several independent 3D convolution layers to filter noise from features extracted by FlowNet, as well as to model local information, and a Bi-ConvLSTM layer to [Read More]
Scene-unified image translation for visual localization
Published:
Visual localization is a key technology in the field of 3D robot vision. One of its major difficulties lies in how to deal with the challenges brought by the appearance changes of query images and database images caused by large time spans. Many methods focus on extracting more robust features from images to deal with [Read More]
Bidirectional Trajectory Computation for Odometer-Aided Visual-Inertial SLAM
Published:
Odometer-aided visual-inertial SLAM systems typically have a good performance for navigation of wheeled platforms, while they usually suffer from degenerate cases before the first turning. In this paper, firstly we perform an observability analysis w.r.t. the extrinsic parameters before the first turning, which is a [Read More]
Optimization-Based Visual-Inertial SLAM Tightly Coupled with Raw GNSS Measurements
Published:
Unlike loose coupling approaches and the EKF-based approaches in the literature, we propose an optimization-based visual-inertial SLAM tightly coupled with raw Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements, a first attempt of this kind in the literature to our knowledge. More specifically, reprojection error, [Read More]
BSP-MonoLoc: Basic Semantic Primitives Based Monocular Localization on Roads
Published:
Robust visual localization in traffic scenes is a fundamental problem for self-driving vehicles. However, it is still challenging to achieve accurate localization performance because of drastic viewpoint and illumination changes. To address the issues, we design a novel monocular localization framework based on a [Read More]

By demonstrating robustness in scenarios characterized by high-speed motion and extreme lighting changes, event cameras hold great potential for enhancing the perception reliability of autonomous driving systems. Since its novelty and data sparsity, the progress of event-based algorithms is hindered by the scarcity of high-quality labeled [Read More] 
Implementation and observability analysis of visual-inertial-wheel odometry with robust initialization and online extrinsic calibration

Combining camera, IMU and wheel encoder is a wise choice for car positioning because of the low cost and complementarity of the sensors. We propose a novel extended visual-inertial odometry algorithm based on sliding window tightly fusing data from the above three sensors. Firstly we propose an IMU-odometer pre-integration approach utilizing complete IMU [Read More] 
COAL: Robust Contrastive Learning Based Visual Navigation Framework
Published:
Real‐world robots will face a wide variety of complex environments when performing navigation or exploration tasks, especially in situations where the robots have never seen before. Usually, robots need to establish local or global maps and then use path planning algorithms to determine their routes. However, in some environments [Read More] 
Causal Enhanced Autoregressive Model for Monocular Image-Goal Navigation in Unknown Map Environment
