Mobile robots rely on odometry to navigate through areas where localization fails. Visual odometry (VO) is a common solution for obtaining robust and consistent relative motion estimates of the vehicle frame. Contrarily, Global Positioning…

Pavement condition is crucial for civil infrastructure maintenance. This task usually requires efficient road damage localization, which can be accomplished by the visual odometry system embedded in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). However,…

Existing visual tracking methods usually localize a target object with a bounding box, in which the performance of the foreground object trackers or detectors is often affected by the inclusion of background clutter. To handle this problem,…

Vehicular Sensor Network (VSN) is emerging as a new solution for monitoring urban environments such as Intelligent Transportation Systems and air pollution. One of the crucial factors that determine the service quality of urban monitoring…

Generalist neural routing solvers have shown great potential in solving diverse vehicle routing problems (VRPs) with a unified model. However, existing solvers are typically limited to symmetric settings or degrade in performance when…

Visual tracking fundamentally involves regressing the state of the target in each frame of a video. Despite significant progress, existing regression-based trackers still tend to experience failures and inaccuracies. To enhance the…

We propose a distributed positioning algorithm to estimate the unknown positions of a number of target nodes, given distance measurements between target nodes and between target nodes and a number of reference nodes at known positions.…

Geographic routing protocols greatly reduce the requirements of topology storage and provide flexibility in the accommodation of the dynamic behavior of ad hoc networks. This paper presents performance evaluations and comparisons of two…

This paper presents a visual-inertial odometry (VIO) method using long-tracked features. Long-tracked features can constrain more visual frames, reducing localization drift. However, they may also lead to accumulated matching errors and…

Virtual Reality headsets isolate users from the real-world by restricting their perception to the virtual-world. Video See-Through (VST) headsets address this by utilizing world-facing cameras to create Augmented Reality experiences.…

Geographic routing with greedy relaying strategies have been widely studied as a routing scheme in sensor networks. These schemes assume that the nodes have perfect information about the location of the destination. When the distance…

Redundant navigation systems are critical for safe operation of UAVs in high-risk environments. Since most commercial UAVs almost wholly rely on GPS, jamming, interference and multi-pathing are real concerns that usually limit their…

In this paper, we investigate visual-based camera re-localization with neural networks for robotics and autonomous vehicles applications. Our solution is a CNN-based algorithm which predicts camera pose (3D translation and 3D rotation)…

Virtual Network Embedding (VNE) is a technique for mapping virtual networks onto a physical network infrastructure, enabling multiple virtual networks to coexist on a shared physical network. Previous works focused on implementing…

Network virtualization provides a promising solution to overcome the ossification of current networks, allowing multiple Virtual Network Requests (VNRs) embedded on a common infrastructure. The major challenge in network virtualization is…

Multi-topology routing (MTR) provides an attractive alternative to segment routing for traffic engineering when network devices cannot be upgraded. However, due to a high overhead in terms of link state messages exchanged by topologies and…

Uncertainty estimation is an important task for critical problems, such as robotics and autonomous driving, because it allows creating statistically better perception models and signaling the model's certainty in its predictions to the…

Visual Grounding (VG) methods in Visual Question Answering (VQA) attempt to improve VQA performance by strengthening a model's reliance on question-relevant visual information. The presence of such relevant information in the visual input…

The Vehicle Routing Problem with pickups, deliveries and spatiotemporal service constraints ($VRPPDSTC$) is a quite challenging algorithmic problem that can be dealt with in either an offline or an online fashion. In this work, we focus on…

3D Visual Grounding (3DVG) aims to locate objects in 3D scenes based on text prompts, which is essential for applications such as robotics. However, existing 3DVG methods encounter two main challenges: first, they struggle to handle the…
