By Albert Palomer Vila Supervised by Dr. Pere Ridao, Dr. Josep Forest i Dr. David Ribas Abstract The 3D perception and mapping problem are very closely related with the robot localization and has not been yet solved up to a degree that allow AUVs to interact with complex environments…
By Guillem Vallicrosa Massaguer Supervised by Dr. Pere Ridao Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) true autonomy capabilities in complex poten-tially unknown environments, have not yet been fully achieved because of the lack of online algorithms that can solve fundamental problems such as localization, mapping and path-planning on-board the…
By Josep Bosch Alay Supervised by Dr. Nuno Gràcias / Dr. Pere Ridao Abstract Omnidirectional vision has received increasing interest during the last decade from the computer vision community. A large number of camera models have reached the market to meet the increasing demand for panoramic imagery. However, the…
