My thesis has been approved as of 20th August 2009! And yes, it's yellow ...
Welcome! Here you'll find stuff related to my PhD research and other miscellaneous projects I have worked on over the years. My research covers the following areas:

Mobile robotics:
  • Computer vision
  • Global localisation
  • Vision based localisation
  • Particle filtering
  • Path planning
  • Panoramic mirror and camera
  • Scene recognition
  • Laser based localisation

  • Large scale 3D environmental modelling:
  • Outdoor laser range scanning
  • 3D registration
  • Manipulating large point clouds (> 100,000,000 points)
  • Fast visualisation
  • Automatic plane extraction
  • TrICP (Trimmed Iterative Closest Point)
