DMSA -- Dense Multi Scan Adjustment for LiDAR Inertial Odometry and Global Optimization

David Skuddis, Norbert Haala

We propose a new method for fine registering multiple point clouds simultaneously. The approach is characterized by being dense, therefore point clouds are not reduced to pre-selec…

SLAM for Indoor Mapping of Wide Area Construction Environments

Vincent Ress, Wei Zhang, David Skuddis +2

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), i.e., the reconstruction of the environment represented by a (3D) map and the concurrent pose estimation, has made astonishing progres…

Photometric Multi-View Mesh Refinement for High-Resolution Satellite Images

Mathias Rothermel, Ke Gong, Dieter Fritsch +2

Modern high-resolution satellite sensors collect optical imagery with ground sampling distances (GSDs) of 30-50cm, which has sparked a renewed interest in photogrammetric 3D surfac…

BEV-SLD: Self-Supervised Scene Landmark Detection for Global Localization with LiDAR Bird's-Eye View Images

David Skuddis, Vincent Ress, Wei Zhang +2

We present BEV-SLD, a LiDAR global localization method building on the Scene Landmark Detection (SLD) concept. Unlike scene-agnostic pipelines, our self-supervised approach leverag…

An RTK-SLAM Dataset for Absolute Accuracy Evaluation in GNSS-Degraded Environments

Wei Zhang, Vincent Ress, David Skuddis +2

RTK-SLAM systems integrate simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS positioning, promising both relative consistency and globally referenced…

Accuracy potential of visual localization exploiting high-end street-level imagery

Jonas Meyer, Stephan Nebiker, Pascal Theiler +1

Accurate and reliable pose information with respect to a reference frame is increasingly demanded across applications such as autonomous navigation, surveying, robotics, and augmen…
