Decentralization and Acceleration Enables Large-Scale Bundle Adjustment

Taosha Fan, Joseph Ortiz, Ming Hsiao +4

Scaling to arbitrarily large bundle adjustment problems requires data and compute to be distributed across multiple devices. Centralized methods in prior works are only able to sol…

Majorization Minimization Methods for Distributed Pose Graph Optimization

Taosha Fan, Todd Murphey

We consider the problem of distributed pose graph optimization (PGO) that has important applications in multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). We propose the maj…

Revitalizing Optimization for 3D Human Pose and Shape Estimation: A Sparse Constrained Formulation

Taosha Fan, Kalyan Vasudev Alwala, Donglai Xiang +3

We propose a novel sparse constrained formulation and from it derive a real-time optimization method for 3D human pose and shape estimation. Our optimization method, SCOPE (Sparse…

Generalized Proximal Methods for Pose Graph Optimization

Taosha Fan, Todd Murphey

In this paper, we generalize proximal methods that were originally designed for convex optimization on normed vector space to non-convex pose graph optimization (PGO) on special Eu…

CPL-SLAM: Efficient and Certifiably Correct Planar Graph-Based SLAM Using the Complex Number Representation

Taosha Fan, Hanlin Wang, Michael Rubenstein +1

In this paper, we consider the problem of planar graph-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) that involves both poses of the autonomous agent and positions of observed…
