Abstract: This paper is about long term navigation in dynamic environments. In previous work we introduced a framework which stored distinct visual appearances of a workspace, known as experiences. These are used to improve localisation on future visits. In this work we introduce a new introspective process, executed between sorties, thats aims by careful discovery of the relationships between experiences, to further improve the performance of our system. We evaluate our new approach on 37km of stereo data captured over a three month period.

Large-scale cost function learning for path planning using deep inverse reinforcement learning
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a manually designed cost map can be refined to more accurately handle corner cases that are scarcely seen in the environment, such as stairs, slopes and underpasses, by further incorporating human priors into the training framework.

Watch This: Scalable Cost-Function Learning for Path Planning in Urban Environments
TL;DR: This work deploys a Maximum Entropy based, non-linear IRL framework which uses Fully Convolutional Neural Networks (FCNs) to represent the cost model underlying expert driving behaviour and demonstrates scalability and performance on an ambitious dataset collected over the course of one year.

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel approach for identifying bidirectional loop closures on panoramic image sequences by combining global binary descriptors and a matching strategy based on cross-correlation of sub-panoramas, which are defined as the different parts of a panorama.

TL;DR: This work constructs a representation of size O(k log n/e2) that provides a (1+e)-approximation for the sum of squared distances to any given k-piecewise linear function.
Cross-season place recognition using NBNN scene descriptor

- 17 Dec 2015
TL;DR: This work acquires a challenging cross-season place recognition dataset and validate the effectiveness of the proposed scene descriptor, which adopts naive Bayes nearest neighbor (NBNN) techniques, where raw visual features are used without vector quantized visual features and image-to-class distance is used for scene comparison.

Random sample consensus: a paradigm for model fitting with applications to image analysis and automated cartography
TL;DR: New results are derived on the minimum number of landmarks needed to obtain a solution, and algorithms are presented for computing these minimum-landmark solutions in closed form that provide the basis for an automatic system that can solve the Location Determination Problem under difficult viewing.

TL;DR: A novel scale- and rotation-invariant interest point detector and descriptor, coined SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features), which approximates or even outperforms previously proposed schemes with respect to repeatability, distinctiveness, and robustness, yet can be computed and compared much faster.

TL;DR: This work proposes to use binary strings as an efficient feature point descriptor, which is called BRIEF, and shows that it is highly discriminative even when using relatively few bits and can be computed using simple intensity difference tests.
Visual odometry for ground vehicle applications
TL;DR: A system that estimates the motion of a stereo head, or a single moving camera, based on video input, in real time with low delay, and the motion estimates are used for navigational purposes.
