Core Technologies

We propose a vision-based localization method. It integrates Visual SLAM and model-based localization method to achieve real-time, dirft-free, global positioning. The technology has been applied to navigation system for the visually impaired and a drone autopilot system that enables drone fly automatically in mixed indoor and outdoor environments.

Applications

wearable camera localization, robot localization and control, drone autopilot

Technology Transfer

1. Real-time, dirft-free, and global positioning vision-based localization method
2. Drone autopilot in mixed indoor and outdoor environments

Technologies with Potential for Technology Transfer or Industry-Academia Collaboration

1. End-to-end learning for image feature matching
2. AR-based drone training system
3. Images saliency detection for drone auto-exploration

Proposal for Industry-Academia Collaboration

1. Any application that needs vision-based global positioning
2. Any application that needs drone autopilot in GPS-denied environemnts
