Improving Deep Dynamics Models for Autonomous Vehicles with Multimodal Latent Mapping of Surfaces

no code implementations21 Mar 2023 Johan Vertens, Nicolai Dorka, Tim Welschehold, Michael Thompson, Wolfram Burgard

By training everything end-to-end with the loss of the dynamics model, we enforce the latent mapper to learn an update rule for the latent map that is useful for the subsequent dynamics model.

HeatNet: Bridging the Day-Night Domain Gap in Semantic Segmentation with Thermal Images

no code implementations10 Mar 2020 Johan Vertens, Jannik Zürn, Wolfram Burgard

We avoid the expensive annotation of nighttime images by leveraging an existing daytime RGB-dataset and propose a teacher-student training approach that transfers the dataset's knowledge to the nighttime domain.

Learning Object Placements For Relational Instructions by Hallucinating Scene Representations

2 code implementations23 Jan 2020 Oier Mees, Alp Emek, Johan Vertens, Wolfram Burgard

One particular requirement for such robots is that they are able to understand spatial relations and can place objects in accordance with the spatial relations expressed by their user.

Long-Term Urban Vehicle Localization Using Pole Landmarks Extracted from 3-D Lidar Scans

1 code implementation23 Oct 2019 Alexander Schaefer, Daniel Büscher, Johan Vertens, Lukas Luft, Wolfram Burgard

Due to their ubiquity and long-term stability, pole-like objects are well suited to serve as landmarks for vehicle localization in urban environments.

From Plants to Landmarks: Time-invariant Plant Localization that uses Deep Pose Regression in Agricultural Fields

no code implementations14 Sep 2017 Florian Kraemer, Alexander Schaefer, Andreas Eitel, Johan Vertens, Wolfram Burgard

Agricultural robots are expected to increase yields in a sustainable way and automate precision tasks, such as weeding and plant monitoring.
