IT-SVO: Improved Semi-Direct Monocular Visual Odometry Combined with JS Divergence in Restricted Mobile Devices.

ABSTRACT: Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has a wide range for applications in mobile robotics. Lightweight and inexpensive vision sensors have been widely used for localization in GPS-denied or weak GPS environments. Mobile robots not only estimate their pose, but also correct their position according to the environment, so a proper mathematical model is required to obtain the state of robots in their circumstances. Usually, filter-based SLAM/VO regards the model as a Gaussian distribution in the mapping thread, which deals with the complicated relationship between mean and covariance. The covariance in SLAM or VO represents the uncertainty of map points. Therefore, the methods, such as probability theory and information theory play a significant role in estimating the uncertainty. In this paper, we combine information theory with classical visual odometry (SVO) and take Jensen-Shannon divergence (JS divergence) instead of Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL divergence) to estimate the uncertainty of depth. A more suitable methodology for SVO is that explores to improve the accuracy and robustness of mobile devices in unknown environments. Meanwhile, this paper aims to efficiently utilize small portability for location and provide a priori knowledge of the latter application scenario. Therefore, combined with SVO, JS divergence is implemented, which has been realized. It not only has the property of accurate distinction of outliers, but also converges the inliers quickly. Simultaneously, the results show, under the same computational simulation, that SVO combined with JS divergence can more accurately locate its state in the environment than the combination with KL divergence.

Perception in the Dark-Development of a ToF Visual Inertial Odometry System.

Project description:Visual inertial odometry (VIO) is the front-end of visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) methods and has been actively studied in recent years. In this context, a time-of-flight (ToF) camera, with its high accuracy of depth measurement and strong resilience to ambient light of variable intensity, draws our interest. Thus, in this paper, we present a realtime visual inertial system based on a low cost ToF camera. The iterative closest point (ICP) methodology is adopted, incorporating salient point-selection criteria and a robustness-weighting function. In addition, an error-state Kalman filter is used and fused with inertial measurement unit (IMU) data. To test its capability, the ToF-VIO system is mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform and operated in a variable light environment. The estimated flight trajectory is compared with the ground truth data captured by a motion capture system. Real flight experiments are also conducted in a dark indoor environment, demonstrating good agreement with estimated performance. The current system is thus shown to be accurate and efficient for use in UAV applications in dark and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-denied environments.

A Benchmark Comparison of Four Off-the-Shelf Proprietary Visual-Inertial Odometry Systems.

Project description:Commercial visual-inertial odometry (VIO) systems have been gaining attention as cost-effective, off-the-shelf, six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) ego-motion-tracking sensors for estimating accurate and consistent camera pose data, in addition to their ability to operate without external localization from motion capture or global positioning systems. It is unclear from existing results, however, which commercial VIO platforms are the most stable, consistent, and accurate in terms of state estimation for indoor and outdoor robotic applications. We assessed four popular proprietary VIO systems (Apple ARKit, Google ARCore, Intel RealSense T265, and Stereolabs ZED 2) through a series of both indoor and outdoor experiments in which we showed their positioning stability, consistency, and accuracy. After evaluating four popular VIO sensors in challenging real-world indoor and outdoor scenarios, Apple ARKit showed the most stable and high accuracy/consistency, and the relative pose error was a drift error of about 0.02 m per second. We present our complete results as a benchmark comparison for the research community.

Altered anterior visual system development following early monocular enucleation.

Project description:PurposeRetinoblastoma is a rare eye cancer that generally occurs before 5 years of age and often results in enucleation (surgical removal) of the cancerous eye. In the present study, we sought to determine the consequences of early monocular enucleation on the morphological development of the anterior visual pathway including the optic chiasm and lateral geniculate nucleus.MethodsA group of adults who had one eye enucleated early in life due to retinoblastoma was compared to binocularly intact controls. Although structural changes have previously been reported in late enucleation, we also collected data from one late enucleated participant to compare to our early enucleated participants. Measurements of the optic nerves, optic chiasm, optic tracts and lateral geniculate nuclei were evaluated from T1 weighted and proton density weighted images collected from each participant.ResultsThe early monocular enucleation group exhibited overall degeneration of the anterior visual system compared to controls. Surprisingly, however, optic tract diameter and geniculate volume decreases were less severe contralateral to the remaining eye. Consistent with previous research, the late enucleated participant showed no asymmetry and significantly larger volume decreases in both geniculate nuclei compared to controls.ConclusionsThe novel finding of an asymmetry in morphology of the anterior visual system following long-term survival from early monocular enucleation indicates altered postnatal visual development. Possible mechanisms behind this altered development include recruitment of deafferented cells by crossing nasal fibres and/or geniculate cell retention via feedback from primary visual cortex. These data highlight the importance of balanced binocular input during postnatal maturation for typical anterior visual system morphology.

Monocular and Binocular Temporal Visual Perception of Infantile Nystagmus.

Project description:Contrast sensitivity is mostly used as a tool for testing aspects of visual functions. Infantile nystagmus is a pathological phenomenon that affects the spatial-temporal visual functions due to spontaneous oscillating movements of the eyes. We examined the spatial-temporal aspects of nystagmus perception, aiming to investigate the mechanisms underlying the deterioration of their visual performance. We tested the monocular and binocular contrast sensitivity of nystagmus and normally sighted subjects by measuring contrast detection of a Gabor target with spatial frequencies slightly above the cutoff threshold of each subject (nystagmus ~3; controls = 9cpd; presentation times 60-480 ms). The dominant eye of nystagmus revealed large differences over the non-dominant eye, highlighting the superiority of the dominant over the non-dominant eye in nystagmus. In addition, binocular summation mechanism was impaired in majority of the nystagmus subjects. Furthermore, these differences are not attributed to differences in visual acuity. Moreover, the visual performance in nystagmus continue to improve for longer presentation time compared with controls and was longer in the poor eye. Since the results are not due to differences in eye movements and strabismus, we suggest that the differences are due to developmental impairment in the visual system during the critical period.

Visual Odometry with an Event Camera Using Continuous Ray Warping and Volumetric Contrast Maximization.

Project description:We present a new solution to tracking and mapping with an event camera. The motion of the camera contains both rotation and translation displacements in the plane, and the displacements happen in an arbitrarily structured environment. As a result, the image matching may no longer be represented by a low-dimensional homographic warping, thus complicating an application of the commonly used Image of Warped Events (IWE). We introduce a new solution to this problem by performing contrast maximization in 3D. The 3D location of the rays cast for each event is smoothly varied as a function of a continuous-time motion parametrization, and the optimal parameters are found by maximizing the contrast in a volumetric ray density field. Our method thus performs joint optimization over motion and structure. The practical validity of our approach is supported by an application to AGV motion estimation and 3D reconstruction with a single vehicle-mounted event camera. The method approaches the performance obtained with regular cameras and eventually outperforms in challenging visual conditions.

SLAMM: Visual monocular SLAM with continuous mapping using multiple maps.

Project description:This paper presents the concept of Simultaneous Localization and Multi-Mapping (SLAMM). It is a system that ensures continuous mapping and information preservation despite failures in tracking due to corrupted frames or sensor's malfunction; making it suitable for real-world applications. It works with single or multiple robots. In a single robot scenario the algorithm generates a new map at the time of tracking failure, and later it merges maps at the event of loop closure. Similarly, maps generated from multiple robots are merged without prior knowledge of their relative poses; which makes this algorithm flexible. The system works in real time at frame-rate speed. The proposed approach was tested on the KITTI and TUM RGB-D public datasets and it showed superior results compared to the state-of-the-arts in calibrated visual monocular keyframe-based SLAM. The mean tracking time is around 22 milliseconds. The initialization is twice as fast as it is in ORB-SLAM, and the retrieved map can reach up to 90 percent more in terms of information preservation depending on tracking loss and loop closure events. For the benefit of the community, the source code along with a framework to be run with Bebop drone are made available at https://github.com/hdaoud/ORBSLAMM.

Walking Recognition in Mobile Devices.

Project description:Presently, smartphones are used more and more for purposes that have nothing to do withphone calls or simple data transfers. One example is the recognition of human activity, which isrelevant information for many applications in the domains of medical diagnosis, elderly assistance,indoor localization, and navigation. The information captured by the inertial sensors of the phone(accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer) can be analyzed to determine the activity performedby the person who is carrying the device, in particular in the activity of walking. Nevertheless,the development of a standalone application able to detect the walking activity starting only fromthe data provided by these inertial sensors is a complex task. This complexity lies in the hardwaredisparity, noise on data, and mostly the many movements that the smartphone can experience andwhich have nothing to do with the physical displacement of the owner. In this work, we exploreand compare several approaches for identifying the walking activity. We categorize them into twomain groups: the first one uses features extracted from the inertial data, whereas the second oneanalyzes the characteristic shape of the time series made up of the sensors readings. Due to the lackof public datasets of inertial data from smartphones for the recognition of human activity underno constraints, we collected data from 77 different people who were not connected to this research.Using this dataset, which we published online, we performed an extensive experimental validationand comparison of our proposals.
