Watching Grass Grow: Long-term Visual Navigation and Mission Planning for Autonomous Biodiversity Monitoring
Matthew Gadd, Daniele De Martini, Luke Pitt +10
We describe a challenging robotics deployment in a complex ecosystem to monitor a rich plant community. The study site is dominated by dynamic grassland vegetation and is thus visu…
AutoInspect: Towards Long-Term Autonomous Industrial Inspection
Michal Staniaszek, Tobit Flatscher, Joseph Rowell +6
We give an overview of AutoInspect, a ROS-based software system for robust and extensible mission-level autonomy. Over the past three years AutoInspect has been deployed in a varie…
VDNA-PR: Using General Dataset Representations for Robust Sequential Visual Place Recognition
Benjamin Ramtoula, Daniele De Martini, Matthew Gadd +1
This paper adapts a general dataset representation technique to produce robust Visual Place Recognition (VPR) descriptors, crucial to enable real-world mobile robot localisation. T…
That's My Point: Compact Object-centric LiDAR Pose Estimation for Large-scale Outdoor Localisation
Georgi Pramatarov, Matthew Gadd, Paul Newman +1
This paper is about 3D pose estimation on LiDAR scans with extremely minimal storage requirements to enable scalable mapping and localisation. We achieve this by clustering all poi…
Open-RadVLAD: Fast and Robust Radar Place Recognition
Matthew Gadd, Paul Newman
Radar place recognition often involves encoding a live scan as a vector and matching this vector to a database in order to recognise that the vehicle is in a location that it has v…
OORD: The Oxford Offroad Radar Dataset
Matthew Gadd, Daniele De Martini, Oliver Bartlett +11
There is a growing academic interest as well as commercial exploitation of millimetre-wave scanning radar for autonomous vehicle localisation and scene understanding. Although seve…
