Combining visual and inertial measurements has become popular in mobile robotics, since the two sensing modalities offer complementary characteristics that make them the ideal choice for accurate Visual-Inertial Odometry or Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). While historically the problem has been addressed with filtering, advancements in visual estimation suggest that non-linear opt...

This paper presents a strategy for rapid summarisation and browsing of video sequences. The input video is first transformed into a sequence of representative feature vectors. Using this representation a utility function is designed that assigns high reward to subsequences of keyframes that are maximally distinct and individually carry the most information. For a specified level of detail and e...

Unity is a powerful game engine that can be used to create 2D or 3D content. The current study focuses on the use of for computer animations, covering strengths, basic concepts and tools creating integrating animations in Unity, including keyframe animation, animation controllers, blend trees. Also advanced topics such as skeletal procedural their applications games, simulations, other interact...

The fusion of visual and inertial cues has become popular in robotics due to the complementary nature of the two sensing modalities. While most fusion strategies to date rely on filtering schemes, the visual robotics community has recently turned to non-linear optimization approaches for tasks such as visual Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM), following the discovery that this comes w...

Extensive research in the field of Visual SLAM for the past fifteen years has yielded workable systems that found their way into various applications, such as robotics and augmented reality. Although filter-based (e.g., Kalman Filter, Particle Filter) Visual SLAM systems were common at some time, non-filter based (i.e., akin to SfM solutions), which are more efficient, are becoming the de facto...

Abstract Video piracy is a challenging issue in the modern world. Approximately $$90\%$$ 90 % of newly released films were illegally distributed around world via Internet. To overcome this issue, video watermarking an effective process that integrates logo frames as wat...
