Online Lidar and Vision based Ego-motion Estimation and Mapping

Event Location: NSH 1507Abstract: In many real-world applications, motion estimation and mapping must be conducted online and in real-time. The real-time motion estimates are important for controlling and maneuvering autonomous vehicles, and the maps generated online are critical for obstacle avoidance and path planning. Further, the final map can be used as a representation of [...]
