Aerial-PASS: Panoramic Annular Scene Segmentation in Drone Videos
Lei Sun, Jia Wang, Kailun Yang +4
Aerial pixel-wise scene perception of the surrounding environment is an important task for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Previous research works mainly adopt conventional pinhol…
Panoramic annular SLAM with loop closure and global optimization
Hao Chen, Weijian Hu, Kailun Yang +2
In this paper, we propose panoramic annular simultaneous localization and mapping (PA-SLAM), a visual SLAM system based on panoramic annular lens. A hybrid point selection strategy…
OpenMPR: Recognize Places Using Multimodal Data for People with Visual Impairments
Ruiqi Cheng, Kaiwei Wang, Jian Bai +1
Place recognition plays a crucial role in navigational assistance, and is also a challenging issue of assistive technology. The place recognition is prone to erroneous localization…
Panoramic Annular Localizer: Tackling the Variation Challenges of Outdoor Localization Using Panoramic Annular Images and Active Deep Descriptors
Ruiqi Cheng, Kaiwei Wang, Shufei Lin +6
Visual localization is an attractive problem that estimates the camera localization from database images based on the query image. It is a crucial task for various applications, su…
