Cyclops: LiDAR as a Camera That Dreams in Color
Wei Gao, Jian Shu, Mingle Zhao +4
Conventionally, robotic perception relies heavily on cameras due to the rich semantic texture they provide. However, their performance degrades significantly in low-light or high-d…
DPNet: Doppler LiDAR Motion Planning for Highly-Dynamic Environments
Wei Zuo, Zeyi Ren, Chengyang Li +7
Existing motion planning methods often struggle with rapid-motion obstacles due to an insufficient understanding of environmental changes. To address this, we propose integrating m…
Super LiDAR Intensity for Robotic Perception
Wei Gao, Jie Zhang, Mingle Zhao +6
Conventionally, human intuition defines vision as a modality of passive optical sensing, relying on ambient light to perceive the environment. However, active optical sensing, whic…
Night-Voyager: Consistent and Efficient Nocturnal Vision-Aided State Estimation in Object Maps
Tianxiao Gao, Mingle Zhao, Chengzhong Xu +1
Accurate and robust state estimation at nighttime is essential for autonomous robotic navigation to achieve nocturnal or round-the-clock tasks. An intuitive question arises: Can lo…
Active Loop Closure for OSM-guided Robotic Mapping in Large-Scale Urban Environments
Wei Gao, Zezhou Sun, Mingle Zhao +2
The autonomous mapping of large-scale urban scenes presents significant challenges for autonomous robots. To mitigate the challenges, global planning, such as utilizing prior GPS t…
Night-Rider: Nocturnal Vision-aided Localization in Streetlight Maps Using Invariant Extended Kalman Filtering
Tianxiao Gao, Mingle Zhao, Chengzhong Xu +1
Vision-aided localization for low-cost mobile robots in diverse environments has attracted widespread attention recently. Although many current systems are applicable in daytime en…
