This lecture will cover vision-based approaches to 3D robotic perception such as 3D simultaneous localization and mapping or 3D object detection with monocular, stereo and RGB-D cameras. Vision-based approaches attract significant attention in research and industrial applications due to the cost-effectiveness of passive cameras but also RGB-D cameras in comparison to sensors such as lasers or radars. The course will treat the following topics:

• Introduction to robotic 3D vision
• Multi-view geometry and non-linear least squares optimization basics
• Indirect and direct methods for rigid image alignment
• Visual odometry, indirect and direct methods
• Visual-inertial odometry
• Visual SLAM, pose graph optimization, indirect and direct bundle adjustment
• 3D map representations
• 3D object detection
• 3D object tracking
• Non-rigid registration methods and SLAM, DynamicFusion

Passion for mathematics to solve complex computer vision problems and a solid background in basic mathematics such as linear algebra and analysis are required. A solid background in basics of multi-view geometry (f.e. acquired through successful participation in the lecture “Computer Vision II: Multi-View Geometry” (IN2228)) is recommended. The course will include exercises for which previous knowledge in programming with Python and Matlab is required.
