Proprioception Is All You Need: Terrain Classification for Boreal Forests

1 code implementation25 Mar 2024 Damien LaRocque, William Guimont-Martin, David-Alexandre Duclos, Philippe Giguère, François Pomerleau

We show that the combination of two TC datasets yields a latent space that can be interpreted with the properties of the terrains.

Global Proxy-based Hard Mining for Visual Place Recognition

1 code implementation28 Feb 2023 Amar Ali-bey, Brahim Chaib-Draa, Philippe Giguère

These proxy representations are thus used to construct a global index that encompasses the similarities between all places in the dataset, allowing for highly informative mini-batch sampling at each training iteration.

GSV-Cities: Toward Appropriate Supervised Visual Place Recognition

1 code implementation19 Oct 2022 Amar Ali-bey, Brahim Chaib-Draa, Philippe Giguère

This paper aims to investigate representation learning for large scale visual place recognition, which consists of determining the location depicted in a query image by referring to a database of reference images.

Training Deep Learning Algorithms on Synthetic Forest Images for Tree Detection

1 code implementation8 Oct 2022 Vincent Grondin, François Pomerleau, Philippe Giguère

In this work, we propose to use simulated forest environments to automatically generate 43 k realistic synthetic images with pixel-level annotations, and use it to train deep learning algorithms for tree detection.

The Indian Chefs Process

no code implementations29 Jan 2020 Patrick Dallaire, Luca Ambrogioni, Ludovic Trottier, Umut Güçlü, Max Hinne, Philippe Giguère, Brahim Chaib-Draa, Marcel van Gerven, Francois Laviolette

This paper introduces the Indian Chefs Process (ICP), a Bayesian nonparametric prior on the joint space of infinite directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and orders that generalizes Indian Buffet Processes.

Tree bark re-identification using a deep-learning feature descriptor

1 code implementation6 Dec 2019 Martin Robert, Patrick Dallaire, Philippe Giguère

Oftentimes, it relies on collections of visual signatures based on descriptors, such as SIFT or SURF.

Deep Template-based Object Instance Detection

1 code implementation26 Nov 2019 Jean-Philippe Mercier, Mathieu Garon, Philippe Giguère, Jean-François Lalonde

In this context, we propose a generic 2D object instance detection approach that uses example viewpoints of the target object at test time to retrieve its 2D location in RGB images, without requiring any additional training (i. e. fine-tuning) step.

ReFusion: 3D Reconstruction in Dynamic Environments for RGB-D Cameras Exploiting Residuals

1 code implementation6 May 2019 Emanuele Palazzolo, Jens Behley, Philipp Lottes, Philippe Giguère, Cyrill Stachniss

For localization and mapping, we employ an efficient direct tracking on the truncated signed distance function (TSDF) and leverage color information encoded in the TSDF to estimate the pose of the sensor.

Learning Object Localization and 6D Pose Estimation from Simulation and Weakly Labeled Real Images

no code implementations18 Jun 2018 Jean-Philippe Mercier, Chaitanya Mitash, Philippe Giguère, Abdeslam Boularias

We then show that the performance of the detector can be substantially improved by using a small set of weakly annotated real images, where a human provides only a list of objects present in each image without indicating the location of the objects.
