Indoor Mapping based on recorded videos

Knowledge of indoor spatial information is vital to stores, warehouses, industries, and homes alike. It is used to optimize layouts to achieve easier navigation for humans, machines, and autonomous robots. Maps provide limited data about the specific placement of objects in the environment and inferring information about the physical space can be impossible. The objective […]

Visual-haptic Representation for Zero-shot Learning

Humans recognise objects in the world leveraging multi-modal sensory inputs beyond visual aspects (images and videos). Touch based information (Haptics) possesses rich information about structure, shape and other objetness properties. In this work, we will study and learn cross-modal representations between vision and touch. To connect vision and touch, we plan to introduce a zero […]
