== Reminder - seminar via the Access Grid - or live in Manchester tomorrow Friday ==
Andrew Davison is one of the founders of these algorithms to combine image processing for 3D data extraction from robotic / UAV control: there are already three serious Open Source versions around. If you wish to meet for lunch (sorry not over AG) please email. yours Martin Martin Turner wrote: > *** Apologies for Cross-posting *** > > Andrew Davison, Imperial College "Live Localisation and Mapping with a > Single Camera" > > 30th April 2010, 2-3pm (BST) Room 1.10, Kilburn Building, The > University of Manchester > > Recent advances in probabilistic Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping > (SLAM) algorithms, together with modern computer power, have made it > possible to create practical systems able to perform real-time > estimation of the motion of a camera in 3D purely from the image > stream it acquires.
