Efficient Camera Exposure Control for Visual Odometry via Deep Reinforcement Learning
Shuyang Zhang, Jinhao He, Yilong Zhu +2
The stability of visual odometry (VO) systems is undermined by degraded image quality, especially in environments with significant illumination changes. This study employs a deep r…
Accurate Prior-centric Monocular Positioning with Offline LiDAR Fusion
Jinhao He, Huaiyang Huang, Shuyang Zhang +3
Unmanned vehicles usually rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors to achieve high-precision localization results for navigation purp…
Segregator: Global Point Cloud Registration with Semantic and Geometric Cues
Pengyu Yin, Shenghai Yuan, Haozhi Cao +3
This paper presents Segregator, a global point cloud registration framework that exploits both semantic information and geometric distribution to efficiently build up outlier-robus…
The Role of the Hercules Autonomous Vehicle During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Autonomous Logistic Vehicle for Contactless Goods Transportation
Tianyu Liu, Qinghai Liao, Lu Gan +28
Since early 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly across the world. As at the date of writing this article, the disease has been globally reported in 223…
LINS: A Lidar-Inertial State Estimator for Robust and Efficient Navigation
Chao Qin, Haoyang Ye, Christian E. Pranata +3
We present LINS, a lightweight lidar-inertial state estimator, for real-time ego-motion estimation. The proposed method enables robust and efficient navigation for ground vehicles…
