报告摘要：In autonomous localization, visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), and VPR (Visual Place Recognition) are two modules providing prior location information for downstream tasks such as loop closure and global localization. For these reasons, they are two critical components for many applications such as robot navigation, autonomous driving, and augmented and virtual reality. Traditionally, the performance of these two modules relies on the accurate real-world input from expensive sensors (such as mechanical Lidar), causing high cost in massive production. To effectively reduce the cost, a fusion of multiple low-cost sensors is proposed in recent years, but the performance is relatively unsatisfactory. In this talk, we will introduce three of our latest works to tackle the performance issue of Visual SLAM and VPR in the manner of multi sensor fusion. Our experimental results show that the proposed methods can achieve SOTA performance with real-time inference under information fusion of multiple low cost sensors such as RGB camera, solid-state Lidar, and IMU.
