We study the beneficial effect of side information on the Structure from Motion (SfM) estimation problem. The side information that we consider is measurement of a `reference vect...
It is well-known that forward motion induces a large number of local minima in the instantaneous least-squares reprojection error. This is caused in part by singularities in the e...
Abstract--Real-time stereo vision is attractive in many applications like robot navigation and 3D scene reconstruction. Data parallel platforms, e.g. GPU, is often used for real-ti...

While real scenes produce a wide range of brightness variations, vision systems use low dynamic range image detectors that typically provide 8 bits of brightness data at each pixe...
— Accurate localization of landmarks in the vicinity of a robot is a first step towards solving the SLAM problem. In this work, we propose algorithms to accurately estimate the ...
