Scalix: Uncertainty-Aware Scale-Consistent Monocular SLAM
Sebastian Barbas Laina, Tianyi Zhang, Panagiotis Petropoulakis +5
Cameras are ubiquitous sensors in robotics due to their compact form factor and the perceptual richness captured through visual information. Monocular SLAM enables robots to unders…
AERO-VIS: Asynchronous Event-based Real-time Onboard Visual-Inertial SLAM
Yannick Burkhardt, Sebastián Barbas Laina, Simon Boche +2
The robustness of event cameras to high dynamic range and motion blur holds the potential to improve visual odometry systems in challenging environments. Although their high tempor…
CoRe-GS: Coarse-to-Refined Gaussian Splatting with Semantic Object Focus
Hannah Schieber, Dominik Frischmann, Victor Schaack +4
Fast and efficient 3D reconstruction is essential for time-critical robotic applications such as tele-guidance and disaster response, where operators must rapidly analyze specific…
FindAnything: Open-Vocabulary and Object-Centric Mapping for Robot Exploration in Any Environment
Sebastián Barbas Laina, Simon Boche, Sotiris Papatheodorou +4
Geometrically accurate and semantically expressive map representations have proven invaluable for robot deployment and task planning in unknown environments. Nevertheless, real-tim…
OKVIS2-X: Open Keyframe-based Visual-Inertial SLAM Configurable with Dense Depth or LiDAR, and GNSS
Simon Boche, Jaehyung Jung, Sebastián Barbas Laina +1
To empower mobile robots with usable maps as well as highest state estimation accuracy and robustness, we present OKVIS2-X: a state-of-the-art multi-sensor Simultaneous Localizatio…
Scalable Outdoors Autonomous Drone Flight with Visual-Inertial SLAM and Dense Submaps Built without LiDAR
Sebastián Barbas Laina, Simon Boche, Sotiris Papatheodorou +4
Autonomous navigation is needed for several robotics applications. In this paper we present an autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) system which purely relies on cost-effective an…
