Artificial Feature Generation and Optimal IMU Placement for VIO in Pipeline Inspection Robots
To overcome the severe perceptual sparsity of pipeline interiors, this paper presents an active Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) framework that generates its own visual landmarks on the fly. By utilizing a pulse of compressed air through a modified airbrush, the robotic platform deposits non-uniform, non-permanent fluore...
