Quantile Transfer for Reliable Operating Point Selection in Visual Place Recognition
Dhyey Manish Rajani, Michael Milford, Tobias Fischer
Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is a key component for localization in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-denied environments, but its performance critically depends on selec…
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 s…
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…
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…
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…
