For improving the accuracy, we match LIDAR data with sub-maps. Furthermore, we convert LIDAR data to images and merge with camera data for image matching. Combining the two approaches, we achieve robust and accurate loop closure detection. The descriptors generated by CNN model will be used as features to image matching for accuracy improvement.","PeriodicalId":106624,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"288 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124156540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work presents a variation of this PPF method applied to the SIXD Challenge datasets presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Recovering 6D Object Pose held at the ICCV 2017. We report an average recall of 0.77 for all datasets and overall recall of 0.82, 0.67, 0.85, 0.37, 0.97 and 0.96 for hinterstoisser, tless, tudlight, rutgers, tejani and doumanoglou datasets, respectively.","PeriodicalId":106624,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115363671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The limitation of the simulator's moving platform is an integral part of every motion simulator. Adaptive and model predictive control washout filters contribute with this limitation online. It is necessary to have a real vision to the workspace limitation which is needed for unpredicted next step of the simulator. In this paper dexterity analysis is addressed as a novel method to monitor the performance accuracy of the simulator. The dexterity of both the classical and optimal washout filters are compared. Finally, it is shown that the dexterity analysis in optimal washout filter is necessary to avoid the workspace limitations.","PeriodicalId":106624,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127109032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
