The auto-management of vehicle entrance and parking in any organization is a complex challenge encompassing record-keeping, efficiency, and security concerns. Manual methods for tracking vehicles and finding parking spaces are slow and a…
In this work, we tackle the problem of active camera localization, which controls the camera movements actively to achieve an accurate camera pose. The past solutions are mostly based on Markov Localization, which reduces the position-wise…
Visual localization, i.e., determining the position and orientation of a vehicle with respect to a map, is a key problem in autonomous driving. We present a multicamera visual inertial localization algorithm for large scale environments. To…
We introduce a planner designed to guide robot manipulators in stably placing objects within intricate scenes. Our proposed method reverses the traditional approach to object placement: our planner selects contact points first and then…
People park their vehicle depending on interior and exterior contexts. They do it naturally, even unconsciously. For instance, with a baby seat on the rear, the driver might leave more space on one side to be able to get the baby out…
In this paper, we present a framework for self-localization of parking robots in a parking lot innovatively using square-like landmarks, aiming to provide a positioning solution with low cost but high accuracy. It utilizes square structures…
This paper introduces a comprehensive approach to optimize parking efficiency for connected and Automated vehicle (CAVs) fleets. We present a multi-vehicle parking simulator, equipped with hierarchical path planning and collision avoidance…
Place Recognition enables the estimation of a globally consistent map and trajectory by providing non-local constraints in Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM). This paper presents Locus, a novel place recognition method using 3D…
The presence of Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) blind spots resulting from roadside parking in urban environments poses a significant challenge to road safety, particularly due to the sudden emergence of pedestrians. mmWave technology leverages…
On-street parking is convenient, but has many disadvantages: on-street spots come at the expense of other road uses such as traffic lanes, transit lanes, bike lanes, or parklets; drivers looking for parking contribute substantially to…
Automated Parking is a low speed manoeuvring scenario which is quite unstructured and complex, requiring full 360{\deg} near-field sensing around the vehicle. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of an automated parking…
In many applications of social navigation, existing works have shown that predicting and reasoning about human intentions can help robotic agents make safer and more socially acceptable decisions. In this work, we study this problem for…
Event-based cameras offer much potential to the fields of robotics and computer vision, in part due to their large dynamic range and extremely high "frame rates". These attributes make them, at least in theory, particularly suitable for…
Parking has been a painful problem for urban drivers. The parking pain exacerbates as more people tend to live in cities in the context of global urbanization. Thus, it is demanding to find a solution to mitigate d rivers' parking…
Vision-based localization in a prior map is of crucial importance for autonomous vehicles. Given a query image, the goal is to estimate the camera pose corresponding to the prior map, and the key is the registration problem of camera images…
In smart cities, it is common practice to define a maximum length of stay for a given parking space to increase the space's rotativity and discourage the usage of individual transportation solutions. However, automatically determining…
How to find places that are not indexed by Google Maps? We propose an intuitive method and framework to locate places based on their distinctive spatial features. The method uses satellite and street view images in machine vision approaches…
In this paper, the parking problem of a swarm of mobile robots has been studied. The robots are deployed at the nodes of an infinite grid, which has a subset of prefixed nodes marked as parking nodes. Each parking node p_i has a capacity of…
Recognizing a previously visited place, also known as place recognition (or loop closure detection) is the key towards fully autonomous mobile robots and self-driving vehicle navigation. Augmented with various Simultaneous Localization and…
Most 6-DoF localization and SLAM systems use static landmarks but ignore dynamic objects because they cannot be usefully incorporated into a typical pipeline. Where dynamic objects have been incorporated, typical approaches have attempted…
