June 2008: New results on real-time tracking of motion with extreme dynamics using MonoSLAM with a gigabit ethernet camera at 200Hz, published at RSS 2008 in collaboration with Peter Gemeiner and Marcus Vincze from Vienna University of Technology. We show results of smooth real-time 3D tracking of a vigourously shaken hand-held camera, and one thrown… Read more »

[News Archive] April 2008: visual mosaicing using SLAM-like techniques
April 2008: My work with Javier Civera, Juan Magallón and J. M. M. Montiel (University of Zaragoza) on visual mosaicing using SLAM-like techniques (following on from the `Visual Compass’ method published at ICRA 2006) has recently been accepted for publication in the Internional Journal of Computer Vision. The advantage of this technique is that it… Read more »

[News Archive] February 2008: New results to be published at ICRA 2008
February 2008: New results to be published at ICRA 2008 demonstrating online model selection within monocular SLAM in collaboration with Javier Civera and J. M. M. Montiel (University of Zaragoza). Using an interacting multiple model (IMM) framework, we show that Bayesian model selection can be applied sequentially during real-time monocular SLAM to improve accuracy by… Read more »
[News Archive] December 2007: ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council.
December 2007: I have been lucky enough to be awarded an ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council. This is a new Europe-wide scheme of individual grants to fund five year research projects. The focus of my project is highly efficient visual SLAM algorithms able to function at high frame-rates and track dynamic motion…. Read more »
