Call for Papers
Scope
Localization and mapping are two of the most relevant topics in mobile robotics. In the last years, most of the attention has been paid to the development of fast and robust algorithms to solve the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem. However, the recent advances in most of the fields of mobile robotics have established new challenges. Thus, the complexity of the environments in which the robots operate is increasing and, therefore, new problems appear for the localization of the robot, the representation of the environment surrounding it and, also, for the extraction of relevant information from the sensors data.
The focus of this special session is on localization and mapping algorithms that solve some of the current challenges in robotics: localization and mapping in dynamic environments, representation of complex scenes fusing information from different kinds of sensors (2D and 3D laser range sensors, stereo cameras, omnivision, range cameras, etc.), detection and tracking of mobile objects in environments with complex data associations, 3D scene reconstruction from 2D data, addition of computer-generated data to the map, etc.
Topics
Topics of the special session include, but are not limited to:
- Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)
- Visual SLAM
- 3D Mapping
- Dense scene representation
- Augmented reality
- Detection and tracking of mobile objects
- High frame-rate motion estimation
