Visual localization is the problem of estimating the camera pose of a given query image within a known scene. Most state-of-the-art localization approaches follow the structure-based paradigm and use 2D-3D matches between pixels in a query…

We present a novel method for extrinsically calibrating a camera and a 2D Laser Rangefinder (LRF) whose beams are invisible from the camera image. We show that point-to-plane constraints from a single observation of a V-shaped calibration…
Visual Servoing has been effectively used to move a robot into specific target locations or to track a recorded demonstration. It does not require manual programming, but it is typically limited to settings where one demonstration maps to…
While Visual Servoing is deeply studied to perform simple maneuvers, the literature does not commonly address complex cases where the target is far out of the camera's field of view (FOV) during the maneuver. For this reason, in this paper,…
