Spatial Perception for Robots and Autonomous Vehicles
Includes: slides describing current research in SPARK (November 2019). I used similar slides in many talks in 2018 and 2019 and presented this slide deck during an invited talk at a meeting of the IEEE RAS Boston Chaper.
How to apply for your dream academic job: a practical overview
Includes: slides, overview, and acknowledgments.
Global Positioning System (GPS): taxonomy and modeling
Includes: basic definitions, measurement models, measurement error models, positioning error models
Some useful relations on quaternions and rotations
Includes: basic definitions, quaternion multiplication, conversion from unit quaternion to rotation matrix, rotations of 3D vectors in homogeneous coordinates, and small-angle approximations.
Relations between the objective functions in g2o and TORO
Includes: explicit formulations of the optimization problems solved by g2o, and TORO, and comments on the actual differences in the structure of the optimization objective.
