November 2009: I am very proud that thanks to a lot of hard work, my group managed to submit a fat sheaf of nice papers to CVPR 2010. Fingers crossed for some good reviews come February…

November 2009: I’ve been thinking a lot over the last couple of years, and discussed with my group and others, that there seems to be a set of common `Quality’ principles and methods behind any algorithms in computer vision and robotics that really seem to work. I have tried to write down an initial idea… Read more »

August 2009: New results in collaboration with Javier Civera and J. M. M. Montiel on applying MonoSLAM-type methods to visual odometry will be presented at IROS 2009 in October. Essentially, this is a “forgetting filter” from which features are deleted once they pass from the field of view. The results approach those obtainable from sliding… Read more »

May 2009: Margarita Chli presented our paper on using image-based mutual information measures to infer the correlation structure of visual maps at ICRA 2009 in Kobe, and Javier Civera presented work on sequential camera self-calibration. See the movies and papers below. AVI AVI Automatically and Efficiently Inferring the Hierarchical Structure of Visual Maps (PDF format),… Read more »

April 2009: A small article (mostly sensible!) about my research appeared this week in The Economist.

November 2008: The Special Issue on Visual SLAM of IEEE Transactions on Robotics which I recently guest-edited with José Neira and John Leonard should now have been published. The full contents are available online here, but you or your institution will need to be an IEEE Xplore subscriber to download the full PDFs for the… Read more »

August 2008: Active Matching: a new algorithm developed with Margarita Chli for efficient probabilistic matching of sets of features in images. It combines the advantages of step-by-step active search guided by information theory with a multiple-hypothesis, mixture of Gaussians model able to cope fully with matching ambiguity. We show large reductions in the number of… Read more »

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 »

May 2008: One post-doc position and two fully funded PhD candidate positions on high performance visual SLAM now available: please see this advert for details.

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 »
