Object tracking is an important functionality of edge video analytic systems and services. Multi-object tracking (MOT) detects the moving objects and tracks their locations frame by frame as real scenes are being captured into a video.…

Accurate and robust localization is critical for the safe operation of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), especially in complex urban environments where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are unreliable. This paper…

Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has shown to improve patient outcomes, as well as reduce complications and recovery time for several clinical applications. While increasingly configurable robotic arms can maximize reach and avoid…

Finding the camera pose is an important step in many egocentric video applications. It has been widely reported that, state of the art SLAM algorithms fail on egocentric videos. In this paper, we propose a robust method for camera pose…

In this study, we address multi-robot localization issues, with a specific focus on cooperative localization and observability analysis of relative pose estimation. Cooperative localization involves enhancing each robot's information…

This paper introduces an active object detection and localization framework that combines a robust untextured object detection and 3D pose estimation algorithm with a novel next-best-view selection strategy. We address the detection and…

Collaborative localization is an essential capability for a team of robots such as connected vehicles to collaboratively estimate object locations from multiple perspectives with reliant cooperation. To enable collaborative localization,…

Egocentric sensors such as AR/VR devices capture human-object interactions and offer the potential to provide task-assistance by recalling 3D locations of objects of interest in the surrounding environment. This capability requires instance…

Multi-object tracking (MOT) enables mobile robots to perform well-informed motion planning and navigation by localizing surrounding objects in 3D space and time. Existing methods rely on depth sensors (e.g., LiDAR) to detect and track…

Fusing different sensor modalities can be a difficult task, particularly if they are asynchronous. Asynchronisation may arise due to long processing times or improper synchronisation during calibration, and there must exist a way to still…

We present an approach for estimating a mobile robot's pose w.r.t. the allocentric coordinates of a network of static cameras using multi-view RGB images. The images are processed online, locally on smart edge sensors by deep neural…

Unlike traditional third-person cameras mounted on robots, a first-person camera, captures a person's visual sensorimotor object interactions from up close. In this paper, we study the tight interplay between our momentary visual attention…

When humans work together to complete a joint task, each person builds an internal model of the situation and how it will evolve. Efficient collaboration is dependent on how these individual models overlap to form a shared mental model…

This dissertation advances the state of the art for AR/VR tracking systems by increasing the tracking frequency by orders of magnitude and proposes an efficient algorithm for the problem of edge-aware optimization. AR/VR is a natural way of…

Digital interaction with everyday objects has become popular since the proliferation of camera-based systems that detect and augment objects "just-in-time". Common systems use a vision-based approach to detect objects and display their…

We interact with the world with our hands and see it through our own (egocentric) perspective. A holistic 3Dunderstanding of such interactions from egocentric views is important for tasks in robotics, AR/VR, action recognition and motion…

In a wearable camera video, we see what the camera wearer sees. While this makes it easy to know roughly what he chose to look at, it does not immediately reveal when he was engaged with the environment. Specifically, at what moments did…

Egocentric 3D human pose estimation has been actively studied using cameras installed in front of a head-mounted device (HMD). While frontal placement is the optimal and the only option for some tasks, such as hand tracking, it remains…

Aligning egocentric video with wearable sensors have shown promise for human action recognition, but face practical limitations in user discomfort, privacy concerns, and scalability. We explore exocentric video with ambient sensors as a…

The emergence of data-driven approaches for control and planning in robotics have highlighted the need for developing experimental robotic platforms for data collection. However, their implementation is often complex and expensive, in…
