Short description of project

The objective of this project was to improve the understanding of how an autonomous mobile agent can localize itself in the environment using computer vision. Initially, we proposed to complement known vision-based concurrent localization and mapping techniques with recent advances in pure relative localization (visual odometry). However, in the implementation phase, we mainly addressed separate mapping and localization in order to take advantage of the results we achieved after the application to this concourse.   

Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner

The performed work involves five distinct research directions: 1. autonomous navigation based on separate mapping and localization procedures 2. performance evaluation of different closed-form algorithms for recovering the relative orientation in two-view geometry 3. concurrent localization and mapping with a calibrated stereo rig 4. assembling and calibrating a 4DOF setup for controlled motion 5. collaboration with Gerald Schweighofer on his novel algorithm for stereo structure and motion
