Detecting Olives with Synthetic or Real Data? Olive the Above

no code implementations16 Aug 2023 Yianni Karabatis, Xiaomin Lin, Nitin J. Sanket, Michail G. Lagoudakis, Yiannis Aloimonos

When access to real, human-labeled data is limited, a combination of mostly synthetic data and a small amount of real data can enhance olive detection.

WorldGen: A Large Scale Generative Simulator

no code implementations3 Oct 2022 Chahat Deep Singh, Riya Kumari, Cornelia Fermüller, Nitin J. Sanket, Yiannis Aloimonos

In the era of deep learning, data is the critical determining factor in the performance of neural network models.

OysterNet: Enhanced Oyster Detection Using Simulation

no code implementations16 Sep 2022 Xiaomin Lin, Nitin J. Sanket, Nare Karapetyan, Yiannis Aloimonos

However, systems for accurate oyster detection require large datasets obtaining which is an expensive and labor-intensive task in underwater environments.

TTCDist: Fast Distance Estimation From an Active Monocular Camera Using Time-to-Contact

no code implementations14 Mar 2022 Levi Burner, Nitin J. Sanket, Cornelia Fermüller, Yiannis Aloimonos

Distance estimation from vision is fundamental for a myriad of robotic applications such as navigation, manipulation, and planning.

NudgeSeg: Zero-Shot Object Segmentation by Repeated Physical Interaction

no code implementations22 Sep 2021 Chahat Deep Singh, Nitin J. Sanket, Chethan M. Parameshwara, Cornelia Fermüller, Yiannis Aloimonos

In this paper, we present the first framework to segment unknown objects in a cluttered scene by repeatedly 'nudging' at the objects and moving them to obtain additional motion cues at every step using only a monochrome monocular camera.

EVPropNet: Detecting Drones By Finding Propellers For Mid-Air Landing And Following

no code implementations29 Jun 2021 Nitin J. Sanket, Chahat Deep Singh, Chethan M. Parameshwara, Cornelia Fermüller, Guido C. H. E. de Croon, Yiannis Aloimonos

Our network can detect propellers at a rate of 85. 1% even when 60% of the propeller is occluded and can run at upto 35Hz on a 2W power budget.

SpikeMS: Deep Spiking Neural Network for Motion Segmentation

no code implementations13 May 2021 Chethan M. Parameshwara, Simin Li, Cornelia Fermüller, Nitin J. Sanket, Matthew S. Evanusa, Yiannis Aloimonos

Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) are the so-called third generation of neural networks which attempt to more closely match the functioning of the biological brain.

MorphEyes: Variable Baseline Stereo For Quadrotor Navigation

1 code implementation5 Nov 2020 Nitin J. Sanket, Chahat Deep Singh, Varun Asthana, Cornelia Fermüller, Yiannis Aloimonos

To our knowledge, this is the first work that applies the concept of morphable design to achieve a variable baseline stereo vision system on a quadrotor.

SalientDSO: Bringing Attention to Direct Sparse Odometry

1 code implementation28 Feb 2018 Huai-Jen Liang, Nitin J. Sanket, Cornelia Fermüller, Yiannis Aloimonos

We merge the successes of these two communities and present a way to incorporate semantic information in the form of visual saliency to Direct Sparse Odometry - a highly successful direct sparse VO algorithm.

GapFlyt: Active Vision Based Minimalist Structure-less Gap Detection For Quadrotor Flight

1 code implementation14 Feb 2018 Nitin J. Sanket, Chahat Deep Singh, Kanishka Ganguly, Cornelia Fermüller, Yiannis Aloimonos

We use this philosophy to design a minimalist sensori-motor framework for a quadrotor to fly though unknown gaps without a 3D reconstruction of the scene using only a monocular camera and onboard sensing.
