Title:Visual SLAM

Abstract:

Visual SLAM is a fundamental problem in 3D vision and robotics areas, which can simultaneously recover the pose and 3D structure in an unkown environment. It has wide applications. This tutorial will first introduce some basic concepts and principles, such as camera model and multiple view geometry, and then introduce the mainstream framework of  VSLAM/VISLAM and some important modules, such as feature tracking, pose estimation, bundle adjustment and loop closure. In addition, a new VISLAM benchmark for augmented reality will be introduced. A set of AR applications based on VSLAM/VISLAM techniques will be presented.

Title: Image Based 3D Reconstruction

Abstract:

Since computer vision became an independent discipline in the 1970s, in the 50 years of research, the 3D representation of images, i.e. scene 3D reconstruction from 2D images has been a classic and fundamental problem in computer vision research. In recent years, with the continuous development of image acquisition equipment, it is convenient to obtain massive high-resolution images using digital cameras, street-view vehicles, drones and other equipment. How to build our 3D world through these images has become an urgent need for many applications. Therefore, at the theoretical and application level, image based 3D reconstruction has become a hot spot for computer vision researchers. This tutorial will introduce the basic pipeline and key algorithms of image based 3D modeling, including Structure-from-Motion, Multiple View Stereo, Points Meshing, Semantic Modeling, etc. In addition, we will show several 3D reconstruction demos for cultural heritage digitization, smart city, HD map, and 3D map based visual re-localization.
