EllipseLIO: Adaptive LiDAR Inertial Odometry with an Ellipsoid Representation

Rowan Border, Margarita Chli

LiDAR Inertial Odometry (LIO) is a critical component for many mobile robots that need to navigate without relying on external positioning (e.g., GPS). Platforms that operate auton…

Osprey: Multi-Session Autonomous Aerial Mapping with LiDAR-based SLAM and Next Best View Planning

Rowan Border, Nived Chebrolu, Yifu Tao +2

Aerial mapping systems are important for many surveying applications (e.g., industrial inspection or agricultural monitoring). Aerial platforms that can fly GPS-guided preplanned m…

Proactive Estimation of Occlusions and Scene Coverage for Planning Next Best Views in an Unstructured Representation

Rowan Border, Jonathan D. Gammell

The process of planning views to observe a scene is known as the Next Best View (NBV) problem. Approaches often aim to obtain high-quality scene observations while reducing the num…

Surface Edge Explorer (SEE): Planning Next Best Views Directly from 3D Observations

Rowan Border, Jonathan D. Gammell, Paul Newman

Surveying 3D scenes is a common task in robotics. Systems can do so autonomously by iteratively obtaining measurements. This process of planning observations to improve the model o…
