Visual Relocalization from Sparse Views in Aliased and Low-Texture Environments via Novel View Synthesis
Maria Peribañez, Javier Civera, Rudolph Triebel +1
Visual localization becomes extremely challenging in planetary-like terrains characterized by low texture, perceptual aliasing, harsh illumination, and sparse, weakly overlapping v…
Markerless Robot Detection and 6D Pose Estimation for Multi-Agent SLAM
Markus Rueggeberg, Maximilian Ulmer, Maximilian Durner +4
The capability of multi-robot SLAM approaches to merge localization history and maps from different observers is often challenged by the difficulty in establishing data association…
The S3LI Vulcano Dataset: A Dataset for Multi-Modal SLAM in Unstructured Planetary Environments
Riccardo Giubilato, Marcus Gerhard Müller, Marco Sewtz +3
We release the S3LI Vulcano dataset, a multi-modal dataset towards development and benchmarking of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and place recognition algorithms tha…
Multi-modal Loop Closure Detection with Foundation Models in Severely Unstructured Environments
Laura Alejandra Encinar Gonzalez, John Folkesson, Rudolph Triebel +1
Robust loop closure detection is a critical component of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms in GNSS-denied environments, such as in the context of planetary ex…
Design of a user-friendly control system for planetary rovers with CPS feature
Sebastiano Chiodini, Riccardo Giubilato, Marco Pertile +3
In this paper, we present a user-friendly planetary rover's control system for low latency surface telerobotic. Thanks to the proposed system, an operator can comfortably give comm…
Multi-Modal Loop Closing in Unstructured Planetary Environments with Visually Enriched Submaps
Riccardo Giubilato, Mallikarjuna Vayugundla, Wolfgang Stürzl +3
Future planetary missions will rely on rovers that can autonomously explore and navigate in unstructured environments. An essential element is the ability to recognize places that…
