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…
DigiForest: Digital Analytics and Robotics for Sustainable Forestry
Marco Camurri, Enrico Tomelleri, MatÃas Mattamala +18
Covering one third of Earth's land surface, forests are vital to global biodiversity, climate regulation, and human well-being. In Europe, forests and woodlands reach approximately…
Building Forest Inventories with Autonomous Legged Robots -- System, Lessons, and Challenges Ahead
MatÃas Mattamala, Nived Chebrolu, Jonas Frey +5
Legged robots are increasingly being adopted in industries such as oil, gas, mining, nuclear, and agriculture. However, new challenges exist when moving into natural, less-structur…
Online Tree Reconstruction and Forest Inventory on a Mobile Robotic System
Leonard FreiÃmuth, Matias Mattamala, Nived Chebrolu +3
Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is the standard technique used to create accurate point clouds for digital forest inventories. However, the measurement process is demanding, requi…
Markerless Aerial-Terrestrial Co-Registration of Forest Point Clouds using a Deformable Pose Graph
Benoit Casseau, Nived Chebrolu, Matias Mattamala +2
For biodiversity and forestry applications, end-users desire maps of forests that are fully detailed, from the forest floor to the canopy. Terrestrial laser scanning and aerial las…
