RTISSLAM-3D: Full 6-DoF SLAM With an In-Air 3D Imaging Sonar
Jan Steckel, Vincent Katter, Wouter Jansen
Echolocating bats navigate dense forests using sonar alone, and in-air 3D imaging sonars now capture the entire frontal hemisphere with every pulse. Sonar SLAM, however, has so far…
Stabilized Adaptive Steering for 3D Sonar Microphone Arrays with IMU Sensor Fusion
Wouter Jansen, Dennis Laurijssen, Jan Steckel
This paper presents a novel software-based approach to stabilizing the acoustic images for in-air 3D sonars. Due to uneven terrain, traditional static beamforming techniques can be…
Semantic Landmark Detection & Classification Using Neural Networks For 3D In-Air Sonar
Wouter Jansen, Jan Steckel
In challenging environments where traditional sensing modalities struggle, in-air sonar offers resilience to optical interference. Placing a priori known landmarks in these environ…
EchoPT: A Pretrained Transformer Architecture that Predicts 2D In-Air Sonar Images for Mobile Robotics
Jan Steckel, Wouter Jansen, Nico Huebel
The predictive brain hypothesis suggests that perception can be interpreted as the process of minimizing the error between predicted perception tokens generated by an internal worl…
Detecting and Classifying Bio-Inspired Artificial Landmarks Using In-Air 3D Sonar
Maarten de Backer, Wouter Jansen, Dennis Laurijssen +3
Various autonomous applications rely on recognizing specific known landmarks in their environment. For example, Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is an important techniq…
Cosys-AirSim: A Real-Time Simulation Framework Expanded for Complex Industrial Applications
Wouter Jansen, Erik Verreycken, Anthony Schenck +4
