Abstract: Visual odometry (VO) is the core part of visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Most of the existing learning-based VO methods adopt either a framework for processing adjacent ...

The paper, published recently in PLOS One, describes an investigation of 112 ostrich eggshell fragments dating back more than ...

Abstract: We propose MAC-VO, a novel learning-based stereo visual odometry (VO) framework that trains a metrics-aware uncertainty model to serve two critical functions: selecting keypoints and ...

The pattern of reaching biases is stable across contexts and can be attributed to a misalignment between eye-centric and body-centric representations of position.

The authors of a new study 1 emphasized the clear visual benefits that low-vision patients experience during low-vision ...

The automatic detection of surface-level irregularities—defects or anomalies—in 3D data is of significant interest for various real-world purposes, such as industrial quality inspection, ...

The visual system is the part of the central nervous system that is required for visual perception – receiving, processing and interpreting visual information to build a representation of the visual ...
