In this paper we present a system for positioning and mapping, primarily for use in smoke diver applications. The system is based on a stereo pair of thermal infrared cameras and is shown to produce trajectory and mapping estimates while used in environments with sufficient thermal contrast. The system is evaluated in, e.g., a test facility for smoke divers, with good results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
