A “deepfake” is a video created using artificial intelligence (AI) showing real people doing and saying things they never did. The first iterations of deepfakes appeared in pornography when ...

Abstract: Appearance based loop closure detection is a crucial technique for robot simultaneous localization and mapping. Extracting appropriate keyframes can reduce computational cost. In this paper, ...

Abstract: In this article, a novel visual-inertial-lidar odometry (VILO) system named TCK-VILO is proposed to assist unmanned ground vehicles in reaching high localization performance. We introduce an ...

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) represent images and video frames as visual tokens. Scaling from single images to hour-long videos, however, inflates the token budget far beyond practical ...

Abstract: Typical LiDAR SLAM architectures feature a front-end for odometry estimation and a back-end for refining and optimizing the trajectory and map, commonly through loop closures. However, loop ...
