The fusion of visual and inertial measurements is becoming more and more popular in the robotics community since both sources of information complement well each other. However, in order to perform this fusion, the biases of the Inertial…

Inertial measurement unit (IMU) and odometer have been commonly-used sensors for autonomous land navigation in the global positioning system (GPS)-denied scenarios. This paper systematically proposes a versatile strategy for self-contained…

Existing inertial motion capture techniques use the human root coordinate frame to estimate local poses and treat it as an inertial frame by default. We argue that when the root has linear acceleration or rotation, the root frame should be…

Sensor-to-segment calibration is a crucial step in inertial motion tracking. When two segments are connected by a hinge joint, for example in human knee and finger joints as well as in many robotic limbs, then the joint axis vector must be…

Visual-inertial fusion is crucial for a large amount of intelligent and autonomous applications, such as robot navigation and augmented reality. To bootstrap and achieve optimal state estimation, the spatial-temporal displacements between…

Inertial motion capture systems widely use low-cost IMUs to obtain the orientation of human body segments, but these sensors alone are unable to estimate link positions. Therefore, this research used a SLAM method in conjunction with…

Real-time object pose estimation and tracking is challenging but essential for emerging augmented reality (AR) applications. In general, state-of-the-art methods address this problem using deep neural networks which indeed yield…

Motion capture from sparse inertial sensors has shown great potential compared to image-based approaches since occlusions do not lead to a reduced tracking quality and the recording space is not restricted to be within the viewing frustum…

Camera-IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor fusion has been extensively studied in recent decades. Numerous observability analysis and fusion schemes for motion estimation with self-calibration have been presented. However, it has been…

A monocular 3D object tracking system generally has only up-to-scale pose estimation results without any prior knowledge of the tracked object. In this paper, we propose a novel idea to recover the metric scale of an arbitrary dynamic…

In many robotics and VR/AR applications, fast camera motions lead to a high level of motion blur, causing existing camera pose estimation methods to fail. In this work, we propose a novel framework that leverages motion blur as a rich cue…
