Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping and localization are two essential tasks in autonomous mobile robotics. Due to the unavoidable noise that sensors present, mapping algorithms usually rely on loop closure detection techniques, which entail the correct identification of previously seen places to reduce the uncertainty of the resulting maps. This book deals with the problem of generating topological maps of the environment using efficient appearance-based loop closure detection techniques. Since the quality of a visual loop closure detection algorithm is related to the image description method and its ability to index previously seen images, several methods for loop closure detection adopting different approaches are developed and assessed. Then, these methods are used in three novel topological mapping algorithms. The results obtained indicate that the solutions proposed attain a better performance than several state-of-the-art approaches. To conclude, given that loop closure detection is also a key component in other research areas, a multi-threaded image mosaicing algorithm is proposed. This approach makes use of one of the loop closure detection techniques previously introduced in order to find overlapping pairs between images and finally obtain seamless mosaics of different environments in a reasonable amount of time.

Book excerpt: This book introduces several appearance-based place recognition pipelines based on different mapping techniques for addressing loop-closure detection in mobile platforms with limited computational resources. The motivation behind this book has been the prospect that in many contemporary applications efficient methods are needed that can provide high performance under run-time and memory constraints. Thus, three different mapping techniques for addressing the task of place recognition for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) are presented. The book at hand follows a tutorial-based structure describing each of the main parts needed for a loop-closure detection pipeline to facilitate the newcomers. It mainly goes through a historical review of the problem, focusing on how it was addressed during the years reaching the current age. This way, the reader is initially familiarized with each part while the place recognition paradigms follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a systematic and comprehensive introduction to the visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) technology, which is a fundamental and essential component for many applications in robotics, wearable devices, and autonomous driving vehicles. The book starts from very basic mathematic background knowledge such as 3D rigid body geometry, the pinhole camera projection model, and nonlinear optimization techniques, before introducing readers to traditional computer vision topics like feature matching, optical flow, and bundle adjustment. The book employs a light writing style, instead of the rigorous yet dry approach that is common in academic literature. In addition, it includes a wealth of executable source code with increasing difficulty to help readers understand and use the practical techniques. The book can be used as a textbook for senior undergraduate or graduate students, or as reference material for researchers and engineers in related areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES The companion to Autonomous Vehicles Volume 1: Using Machine Intelligence, this second volume in the two-volume set covers intelligent techniques utilized for designing, controlling, and managing vehicular systems based on advanced algorithms of computing like machine learning, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT) with prediction approaches to avoid accidental damages, security threats, and theft. Besides communicating with other vehicles, self-driving cars connected to a 5G network will also be able to communicate with different infrastructure elements that make up our roads and other transportation and communication systems. Similarly, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), an aircraft without any human pilot, crew, or passengers on board, can operate under remote control by a human operator, as a remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA), or with various degrees of autonomy. These include autopilot assistance and fully autonomous aircraft that have no provision for human intervention. Transportation is a necessary, but often painful process. With fully autonomous driving, passengers will be freed to accomplish their own goals, turning the dead hours of driving into fruitful hours of learning, working, engaging, and relaxing. Similarly, UAVs can perform functions that human-operated aircraft cannot, whether because of the environment or high-risk situations. The purpose of the book is to present the needs, designs, and applications of autonomous vehicles. The topics covered range from mechanical engineering to computer science engineering, both areas playing vital roles in programming, managing, generating alerts, and GPS position, artificial intelligence-based prediction of path and events, as well as other high-tech tools, are covered in this book, as well. Whether for the student, veteran engineer, or another industry professional, this book, and its companion volume, are must-haves for any library.
