This lecture overviews Computational Cinematography that has many applications in filming, notably in drone cinematography. It covers the following topics in detail: Framing Shot Types: eXtreme Close Up shot (XCU), Medium Shot (MS), Long Shot (LS), eXtreme Long Shot (XLS), Over The Shoulder (OTS) and their detection. Shot type constraints (notably on focal length due… Continue reading Computational Cinematography
This lecture overviews object pose estimation that has many applications in Human-Robotic Interaction (HRI), Robotics and Augmented Reality. It covers the following topics in detail: definitions of body pose/posture, 6D object pose estimation through object detection, 3D object pose regression/classification/retrieval.
This lecture overviews 3D Object Localization that has many applications in robotics and autonomous systems. It covers the following topics in detail: GPS object localization, Visual 3D object localization using 3D maps, Multisensor object localization, Multi-view object localization.
This lecture overviews Neural SLAM that has many applications in robotic and autonomous vehicle localization and mapping. It covers the following topics in detail: Neural Camera Calibration, Neural Mapping/Reconstruction, Neural Localization, Neural Structure from Motion, Neural SLAM.
The lecture includes the essential knowledge about how we obtain/get 2D and/or 3D maps that robots/drones need, taking measurements that allow them to perceive their environment with appropriate sensors. Semantic mapping includes how to add semantic annotations to the maps such as POIs, roads and landing sites. Section Localization is exploited to find the 3D… Continue reading Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
This lecture overviews neural semantic 3D world modeling and mapping that has many applications in 3D world mapping and in attaching semantics to the world maps It covers the following topics in detail: neural disparity/depth estimation and joint 3D scene geometry and semantics estimation. Their results are then transferred in semantic 3D world maps (e.g.,… Continue reading Neural Semantic 3D World Modeling and Mapping
