Regular object detection methods output rectangle bounding boxes, which are unable to accurately describe the actual object shapes. Instance segmentation methods output pixel-level labels, which are computationally expensive for real-time…
For autonomous navigation, accurate localization with respect to a map is needed. In urban environments, infrastructure such as buildings or bridges cause major difficulties to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and, despite…
Basic patterns are the source of a wide range of more or less complex geometric structures. We will exploit such patterns to develop new efficient visual markers. Besides being projective invariants, the proposed markers allow producing…
Many robotic tasks rely on the accurate localization of moving objects within a given workspace. This information about the objects' poses and velocities are used for control,motion planning, navigation, interaction with the environment or…
Camera pose estimation in large-scale environments is still an open question and, despite recent promising results, it may still fail in some situations. The research so far has focused on improving subcomponents of estimation pipelines, to…
We present a simple and flexible object detection framework optimized for autonomous driving. Building on the observation that point clouds in this application are extremely sparse, we propose a practical pillar-based approach to fix the…
