  • Our paper RGB-D Camera Calibration and Trajectory Estimationfor Indoor Mapping, Liang Yang, Ivan Dryanovski, Roberto G. Valenti, George Wolberg, Jizhong Xiao, is accepted by Autonomous Robots, in which we proposed a ‘feature model’ based RGB-D visual odometry system for a computationally-constrained mobile platform, and we also introduce a general depth calibration method to remove systematic errors in the depth readings of the RGB-D camera.

  • Our Paper Visual Odometry with a Single-Camera Stereo Omnidirectional System by Carlos Jaramillo and Liang Yang and Pablo Munoz and Yuichi Taguchi and Jizhong Xiao, is accepted by Machine Vision and Applications, Springer. We proposed a Single-Camera Stereo Omnidirectional System which is able to be robust for visual odometry task under highly crowded and dynamic environment.

Projects

Visual Odometry with a Single-Camera Stereo Omnidirectional System

This work aims to provide a robust and easy access solution of scale-visual-positioning

Deep Learning based Semantic 3D Inspection

Field test at bridge-tunnel vertical surface at Riverside Dr, New York

Robotic Inspection

From end of 2016, I was supported by US Dept. of Transportation of the project: Tier I University Transportation Center: Inspecting and Preserving Infrastructure through Robotic Exploration (INSPIRE Center). We proposed a new approach using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) towards a Concrete Structure Spalling and Crack database (CSSC), we also fined tuned the vgg 16 with a detection baseline for spalling/crack detection.
