BIM Informed Visual SLAM for Construction Environments
Asier Bikandi-Noya, Miguel Fernandez-Cortizas, Muhammad Shaheer +3
Monitoring building construction sites requires comparing the as-planned design with the as-built state, which can be estimated in real time using Simultaneous Localization and Map…
Popcorn: A Configurable Benchmark for Visual Evidence in Multimodal Movie Recommendation
Ali Tourani, Fatemeh Nazary, Yashar Deldjoo +1
Movies are long-form audiovisual works, yet recommender benchmarks often rely on trailers, thumbnails, or metadata. These sources differ in semantics and scalability: full movies p…
Passage-Aware Structural Mapping for RGB-D Visual SLAM
Ali Tourani, Miguel Fernandez-Cortizas, Saad Ejaz +4
Doorways and passages are critical structural elements for indoor robot navigation, yet they remain underexplored in modern Visual SLAM (VSLAM) frameworks. This paper presents a pa…
Situationally-aware Path Planning Exploiting 3D Scene Graphs
Saad Ejaz, Marco Giberna, Muhammad Shaheer +5
3D Scene Graphs integrate both metric and semantic information, yet their structure remains underutilized for improving path planning efficiency and interpretability. In this work,…
vS-Graphs: Tightly Coupling Visual SLAM and 3D Scene Graphs Exploiting Hierarchical Scene Understanding
Ali Tourani, Saad Ejaz, Hriday Bavle +4
Current Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) systems often struggle to create maps that are both semantically rich and easily interpretable. While incorporating sem…
Unveiling the Potential of iMarkers: Invisible Fiducial Markers for Advanced Robotics
Ali Tourani, Deniz Isinsu Avsar, Hriday Bavle +3
Fiducial markers are widely used in robotics for navigation, object recognition, and scene understanding. While offering significant advantages for robots and Augmented Reality (AR…
