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…
RTISSLAM: In-air Imaging Sonar SLAM using a Robust Pose Graph and Occupancy Grid Mapping
Jan Steckel
Sonar was one of the first sensors with which mobile robots built maps, and in-air sonar keeps working where cameras and lidar fail, in darkness, smoke, dust and next to glass. Cla…
Self-Supervised Deconvolution of In-Air Sonar Images Using Sensor Ego-Motion
Jan Steckel
Broadband in-air sonar sensors with a sparse microphone array form images through delay-and-sum beamforming, which leaves high sidelobes and an angular resolution that degrades str…
BatSLAM 2.0: Sequence-Verified Sonar Place Recognition in a Robust Pose Graph
Jan Steckel
Echolocating bats can navigate dark and cluttered spaces using echolocation. Over a decade ago, BatSLAM showed that a robot with a biomimetic binaural sonar can build a topological…
Intelligent Road Condition Monitoring using 3D In-Air SONAR Sensing
Amber Cassimon, Robin Kerstens, Walter Daems +1
In this paper, we investigate the capabilities of in-air 3D SONAR sensors for the monitoring of road surface conditions. Concretely, we consider two applications: Road material cla…
Hardware-Accelerated Geometrical Simulation of Biological and Engineered In-Air Ultrasonic Systems
Wouter Jansen, Jan Steckel
The deployment of in-air acoustic sensors for industrial monitoring and autonomous robotics has grown significantly, often drawing inspiration from biological echolocation. However…
LLM-Driven 3D Scene Generation of Agricultural Simulation Environments
Arafa Yoncalik, Wouter Jansen, Nico Huebel +2
Procedural generation techniques in 3D rendering engines have revolutionized the creation of complex environments, reducing reliance on manual design. Recent approaches using Large…
