Experimental Comparison of Visual-Aided Odometry Methods for Rail Vehicles
Florian Tschopp, Thomas Schneider, Andrew W. Palmer +4
Today, rail vehicle localization is based on infrastructure-side Balises (beacons) together with on-board odometry to determine whether a rail segment is occupied. Such a coarse lo…
Observability-aware Self-Calibration of Visual and Inertial Sensors for Ego-Motion Estimation
Thomas Schneider, Mingyang Li, Cesar Cadena +2
External effects such as shocks and temperature variations affect the calibration of visual-inertial sensor systems and thus they cannot fully rely on factory calibrations. Re-cali…
Long-term Large-scale Mapping and Localization Using maplab
Marcin Dymczyk, Marius Fehr, Thomas Schneider +1
This paper discusses a large-scale and long-term mapping and localization scenario using the maplab open-source framework. We present a brief overview of the specific algorithms in…
Visual-Inertial Teach and Repeat for Aerial Inspection
Marius Fehr, Thomas Schneider, Marcin Dymczyk +2
Industrial facilities often require periodic visual inspections of key installations. Examining these points of interest is time consuming, potentially hazardous or require special…
maplab: An Open Framework for Research in Visual-inertial Mapping and Localization
Thomas Schneider, Marcin Dymczyk, Marius Fehr +4
Robust and accurate visual-inertial estimation is crucial to many of today's challenges in robotics. Being able to localize against a prior map and obtain accurate and driftfree po…
Topomap: Topological Mapping and Navigation Based on Visual SLAM Maps
Fabian Blöchliger, Marius Fehr, Marcin Dymczyk +2
Visual robot navigation within large-scale, semi-structured environments deals with various challenges such as computation intensive path planning algorithms or insufficient knowle…
Visual-inertial self-calibration on informative motion segments
Thomas Schneider, Mingyang Li, Michael Burri +3
Environmental conditions and external effects, such as shocks, have a significant impact on the calibration parameters of visual-inertial sensor systems. Thus long-term operation o…
