G-EDF-Loc: 3D Continuous Gaussian Distance Field for Robust Gradient-Based 6DoF Localization
José E. Maese, LucÃa Coto-Elena, Luis Merino +1
This paper presents a robust 6-DoF localization framework based on a direct, CPU-based scan-to-map registration pipeline. The system leverages G-EDF, a novel continuous and memory-…
D-LIO: 6DoF Direct LiDAR-Inertial Odometry based on Simultaneous Truncated Distance Field Mapping
Lucia Coto-Elena, J. E. Maese, L. Merino +1
This paper presents a new approach for 6DoF Direct LiDAR-Inertial Odometry (D-LIO) based on the simultaneous mapping of truncated distance fields on CPU. Such continuous representa…
DB-TSDF: Directional Bitmask-based Truncated Signed Distance Fields for Efficient Volumetric Mapping
Jose E. Maese, Luis Merino, Fernando Caballero
This paper presents a high-efficiency, CPU-only volumetric mapping framework based on a Truncated Signed Distance Field (TSDF). The system incrementally fuses raw LiDAR point-cloud…
Physical simulation of Marsupial UAV-UGV Systems Connected by a Variable-Length Hanging Tether
Jose Enrique Maese, Fernando Caballero, Luis Merino
This paper presents a simulation framework able of modeling the dynamics of a hanging tether with adjustable length, connecting a UAV to a UGV. The model incorporates the interacti…
