Going Places: Place Recognition in Artificial and Natural Systems
Michael Milford, Tobias Fischer
Place recognition, the ability to identify previously visited locations, is critical for both biological navigation and autonomous systems. This review synthesizes findings from ro…
Pixi: Unified Software Development and Distribution for Robotics and AI
Tobias Fischer, Wolf Vollprecht, Bas Zalmstra +8
The reproducibility crisis in scientific computing constrains robotics research. Existing studies reveal that up to 70% of robotics algorithms cannot be reproduced by independent t…
Prepare for Warp Speed: Sub-millisecond Visual Place Recognition Using Event Cameras
Vignesh Ramanathan, Michael Milford, Tobias Fischer
Visual Place Recognition (VPR) enables systems to identify previously visited locations within a map, a fundamental task for autonomous navigation. Prior works have developed VPR s…
Event-Based Visual Teach-and-Repeat via Fast Fourier-Domain Cross-Correlation
Gokul B. Nair, Alejandro Fontan, Michael Milford +1
Visual teach-and-repeat (VT&R) navigation enables robots to autonomously traverse previously demonstrated paths using visual feedback. We present a novel event-camera-based VT&R sy…
Event-LAB: Towards Standardized Evaluation of Neuromorphic Localization Methods
Adam D. Hines, Alejandro Fontan, Michael Milford +1
Event-based localization research and datasets are a rapidly growing area of interest, with a tenfold increase in the cumulative total number of published papers on this topic over…
Ensemble-Based Event Camera Place Recognition Under Varying Illumination
Therese Joseph, Tobias Fischer, Michael Milford
Compared to conventional cameras, event cameras provide a high dynamic range and low latency, offering greater robustness to rapid motion and challenging lighting conditions. Altho…
VSLAM-LAB: A Comprehensive Framework for Visual SLAM Methods and Datasets
Alejandro Fontan, Tobias Fischer, Javier Civera +1
Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) research faces significant challenges due to fragmented toolchains, complex system configurations, and inconsistent evaluation…
Threshold Adaptation in Spiking Networks Enables Shortest Path Finding and Place Disambiguation
Robin Dietrich, Tobias Fischer, Nicolai Waniek +4
Efficient spatial navigation is a hallmark of the mammalian brain, inspiring the development of neuromorphic systems that mimic biological principles. Despite progress, implementin…
Improving Visual Place Recognition with Sequence-Matching Receptiveness Prediction
Somayeh Hussaini, Tobias Fischer, Michael Milford
In visual place recognition (VPR), filtering and sequence-based matching approaches can improve performance by integrating temporal information across image sequences, especially i…
Image-Based Relocalization and Alignment for Long-Term Monitoring of Dynamic Underwater Environments
Beverley Gorry, Tobias Fischer, Michael Milford +1
Effective monitoring of underwater ecosystems is crucial for tracking environmental changes, guiding conservation efforts, and ensuring long-term ecosystem health. However, automat…
