Aided inertial navigation system (INS), typically consisting of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and an exteroceptive sensor, has been widely accepted as a feasible solution for navigation. Compared with vision-aided and LiDAR-aided INS,…

Scene flow characterizes the 3D motion between two LiDAR scans captured by an autonomous vehicle at nearby timesteps. Prevalent methods consider scene flow as point-wise unconstrained flow vectors that can be learned by either large-scale…

In the context of autonomous driving, vehicles are inherently bound to encounter more extreme weather during which public safety must be ensured. As climate is quickly changing, the frequency of heavy snowstorms is expected to increase and…

Drift-free localization is essential for autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we address the problem by proposing a filter-based framework, which integrates the visual-inertial odometry and the measurements of the features in the pre-built…

Underwater environments pose significant challenges for visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems due to limited visibility, inadequate illumination, and sporadic loss of structural features in images. Addressing these…

Reliable pose estimation in previously unseen environments is a fundamental capability of autonomous systems. Existing LiDAR odometry methods typically employ point-, surfel-, or NDT-based map representations, which are distinct from the…

LiDAR odometry is the task of estimating the ego-motion of the sensor from sequential laser scans. This problem has been addressed by the community for more than two decades, and many effective solutions are available nowadays. Most of…

Map-centric SLAM is emerging as an alternative of conventional graph-based SLAM for its accuracy and efficiency in long-term mapping problems. However, in map-centric SLAM, the process of loop closure differs from that of conventional SLAM…

While visual localization or SLAM has witnessed great progress in past decades, when deploying it on a mobile robot in practice, few works have explicitly considered the kinematic (or dynamic) constraints of the real robotic system when…

Modern 3D laser-range scanners have a high data rate, making online simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) computationally challenging. Recursive state estimation techniques are efficient but commit to a state estimate immediately…

Covariance estimation for the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) point cloud registration algorithm is essential for state estimation and sensor fusion purposes. We argue that a major source of error for ICP is in the input data itself, from the…
