Journal ArticleDOI
A Visual Global Positioning System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Used in Photogrammetric Applications
TL;DR: This paper proposes vision-based techniques for localizing a UAV based only on visual matching between current view and available georeferenced satellite images and shows sufficient performance if compared with common GPS systems and give a good performance also in the altitude estimation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Feature group matching for appearance-based localization
TL;DR: This paper addresses the issues of appearance-based topological and metric localization by introducing a novel group matching approach to select less but more robust features to match the current robot view with reference images.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Robot localization in urban environments using omnidirectional vision sensors and partial heterogeneous apriori knowledge
TL;DR: This paper uses omnidirectional vision-based sensors to complement GPS and odometry and provide accurate localization in large urban environments using a partial apriori knowledge made by different kind of images.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Robot localization using omnidirectional vision in large and dynamic outdoor environments
TL;DR: This paper presents a mobile robot localization system based on local feature matching of omnidirectional images and addresses the issues of appearance-based topological localization by comparing common feature-extractor methods (SIFT and SURF) to select robust features to match the current robot view with reference images.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
RoboBuntu: A Linux distribution for mobile robotics
TL;DR: The key idea behind RoboBuntu is the integration of different tools for mobile robotics into an embedded Ubuntu distribution, and every “hard step”, like installation and configuration of OS and tools, is hidden to common users.
