Visual-Inertial SLAM as Simple as A, B, VINS

Nathaniel Merrill, Guoquan Huang

We present AB-VINS, a different kind of visual-inertial SLAM system. Unlike most popular VINS methods which only use hand-crafted techniques, AB-VINS makes use of three different d…

Symmetry and Uncertainty-Aware Object SLAM for 6DoF Object Pose Estimation

Nathaniel Merrill, Yuliang Guo, Xingxing Zuo +5

We propose a keypoint-based object-level SLAM framework that can provide globally consistent 6DoF pose estimates for symmetric and asymmetric objects alike. To the best of our know…

CodeVIO: Visual-Inertial Odometry with Learned Optimizable Dense Depth

Xingxing Zuo, Nathaniel Merrill, Wei Li +3

In this work, we present a lightweight, tightly-coupled deep depth network and visual-inertial odometry (VIO) system, which can provide accurate state estimates and dense depth map…
