My research in localization for field robots. Papers are listed on the home page and in the CV.

CVGL-SLAM: Satellite Imagery as an Absolute Constraint for Drift-Bounded SLAM

Bounds odometry drift without loop closure by matching the robot's view to satellite imagery and adding confident matches to a pose graph.

In preparation
SE(3)-LIO: Smooth IMU Propagation With Jointly Distributed Poses on SE(3) Manifold

LiDAR-inertial odometry that propagates the IMU state jointly on SE(3), staying accurate under fast motion and vibration.
