ASAP-MO:Advanced Situational Awareness and Perception for Mission-critical Operations
Veronica Vannini, William Dubois, Olivier Gamache +5
Deploying robotic missions can be challenging due to the complexity of controlling robots with multiple degrees of freedom, fusing diverse sensory inputs, and managing communicatio…
Reproducible Evaluation of Camera Auto-Exposure Methods in the Field: Platform, Benchmark and Lessons Learned
Olivier Gamache, Jean-Michel Fortin, Matěj Boxan +2
Standard datasets often present limitations, particularly due to the fixed nature of input data sensors, which makes it difficult to compare methods that actively adjust sensor par…
UAV-Assisted Self-Supervised Terrain Awareness for Off-Road Navigation
Jean-Michel Fortin, Olivier Gamache, William Fecteau +4
Terrain awareness is an essential milestone to enable truly autonomous off-road navigation. Accurately predicting terrain characteristics allows optimizing a vehicle's path against…
Field Report on a Wearable and Versatile Solution for Field Acquisition and Exploration
Olivier Gamache, Jean-Michel Fortin, Matěj Boxan +2
This report presents a wearable plug-and-play platform for data acquisition in the field. The platform, extending a waterproof Pelican Case into a 20 kg backpack offers 5.5 hours o…
Exposing the Unseen: Exposure Time Emulation for Offline Benchmarking of Vision Algorithms
Olivier Gamache, Jean-Michel Fortin, Matěj Boxan +3
Visual Odometry (VO) is one of the fundamental tasks in computer vision for robotics. However, its performance is deeply affected by High Dynamic Range (HDR) scenes, omnipresent ou…
Instance Segmentation for Autonomous Log Grasping in Forestry Operations
Jean-Michel Fortin, Olivier Gamache, Vincent Grondin +2
Wood logs picking is a challenging task to automate. Indeed, logs usually come in cluttered configurations, randomly orientated and overlapping. Recent work on log picking automati…
Kilometer-scale autonomous navigation in subarctic forests: challenges and lessons learned
Dominic Baril, Simon-Pierre Deschênes, Olivier Gamache +6
Challenges inherent to autonomous wintertime navigation in forests include lack of reliable a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal, low feature contrast, high illuminat…
