Probabilistic Combination of Noisy Points and Planes for RGB-D Odometry
This work proposes a visual odometry method that combines points and plane
primitives, extracted from a noisy depth camera. Depth measurement uncertainty
is modelled and propagated through the extraction of geometric primitives to
the frame-to-frame motion estimation, where pose is optimized by weighting the
residuals of 3D point and planes matches, according to their uncertainties.
Results on an RGB-D dataset show that the combination of points and planes,
through the proposed method, is able to perform well in poorly textured
environments, where point-based odometry is bound to fail.Comment: Accepted to TAROS 201
SPLODE: Semi-Probabilistic Point and Line Odometry with Depth Estimation from RGB-D Camera Motion
Active depth cameras suffer from several limitations, which cause incomplete
and noisy depth maps, and may consequently affect the performance of RGB-D
Odometry. To address this issue, this paper presents a visual odometry method
based on point and line features that leverages both measurements from a depth
sensor and depth estimates from camera motion. Depth estimates are generated
continuously by a probabilistic depth estimation framework for both types of
features to compensate for the lack of depth measurements and inaccurate
feature depth associations. The framework models explicitly the uncertainty of
triangulating depth from both point and line observations to validate and
obtain precise estimates. Furthermore, depth measurements are exploited by
propagating them through a depth map registration module and using a
frame-to-frame motion estimation method that considers 3D-to-2D and 2D-to-3D
reprojection errors, independently. Results on RGB-D sequences captured on
large indoor and outdoor scenes, where depth sensor limitations are critical,
show that the combination of depth measurements and estimates through our
approach is able to overcome the absence and inaccuracy of depth measurements.Comment: IROS 201
A Multi-Robot Cooperation Framework for Sewing Personalized Stent Grafts
This paper presents a multi-robot system for manufacturing personalized
medical stent grafts. The proposed system adopts a modular design, which
includes: a (personalized) mandrel module, a bimanual sewing module, and a
vision module. The mandrel module incorporates the personalized geometry of
patients, while the bimanual sewing module adopts a learning-by-demonstration
approach to transfer human hand-sewing skills to the robots. The human
demonstrations were firstly observed by the vision module and then encoded
using a statistical model to generate the reference motion trajectories. During
autonomous robot sewing, the vision module plays the role of coordinating
multi-robot collaboration. Experiment results show that the robots can adapt to
generalized stent designs. The proposed system can also be used for other
manipulation tasks, especially for flexible production of customized products
and where bimanual or multi-robot cooperation is required.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures, accepted by IEEE Transactions on Industrial

Temporal accumulation of oriented visual features
In this paper we present a framework for accumulating on-line a model of a moving object (e.g., when manipulated by a robot). The proposed scheme is based on Bayesian filtering of local features, filtering jointly position, orientation and appearance information. The work presented here is novel in two aspects: first, we use an estimation mechanism that updates iteratively not only geometrical information, but also appearance information. Second, we propose a probabilistic version of the classical n-scan criterion that allows us to select which features are preserved and which are discarded, while making use of the available uncertainty model.
The accumulated representations have been used in three different contexts: pose estimation, robotic grasping, and driver assistance scenario
