题目：Visual mapping and localisation for autonomous navigation

报告摘要：Visual mapping and localisation or Visual SLAM is a technique to estimate the change of a mobile platform in position and orientation over time by using the measurements from on-board cameras. It attracts significant attentions from large number of researchers and is gaining the popularity in various potential applications. However, it is very challenging in both of technical development and engineering implementation when accuracy, real time performance, robustness, and operation scale are taken into consideration. This talk is to report the state of the art visual mapping and localisation techniques from the perspectives of filtering and optimisation based approaches, which are two dominated approaches adopted in the research area. Various filtering based approaches and optimisation based approaches are introduced and their link will be clarified.
