Stretch-ICP: A Continuous-Trajectory Registration and Deskewing Algorithm in Scenarios of Aggressive Motions
Simon-Pierre Deschênes, Veronica Vannini, Philippe Giguère +1
Robust robotic autonomy remains challenging in complex environments, where loss of stability on uneven or slippery terrain can induce extreme accelerations and angular velocities.…
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…
BoQ: A Place is Worth a Bag of Learnable Queries
Amar Ali-Bey, Brahim Chaib-draa, Philippe Giguère
In visual place recognition, accurately identifying and matching images of locations under varying environmental conditions and viewpoints remains a significant challenge. In this…
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…
Proprioception Is All You Need: Terrain Classification for Boreal Forests
Damien LaRocque, William Guimont-Martin, David-Alexandre Duclos +2
Recent works in field robotics highlighted the importance of resiliency against different types of terrains. Boreal forests, in particular, are home to many mobility-impeding terra…
Saturation-Aware Angular Velocity Estimation: Extending the Robustness of SLAM to Aggressive Motions
Simon-Pierre Deschênes, Dominic Baril, Matěj Boxan +3
We propose a novel angular velocity estimation method to increase the robustness of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) algorithms against gyroscope saturations induced by…
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…
RTS-GT: Robotic Total Stations Ground Truthing dataset
Maxime Vaidis, Mohsen Hassanzadeh Shahraji, Effie Daum +3
Numerous datasets and benchmarks exist to assess and compare Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms. Nevertheless, their precision must follow the rate at which SL…
DRIVE: Data-driven Robot Input Vector Exploration
Dominic Baril, Simon-Pierre Deschênes, Luc Coupal +4
An accurate motion model is a fundamental component of most autonomous navigation systems. While much work has been done on improving model formulation, no standard protocol exists…
