SLAM2: Simultaneous Localization and Multimode Mapping for indoor dynamic environments Permalink

Published in Pattern Recognition, 2025

we present SLAM^2, a novel semantic RGB-D SLAM system that can obtain accurate estimation of the camera pose and the 6DOF pose of other objects, resulting in complete and clean static 3D model mapping in dynamic environments.

DPL-SLAM: enhancing dynamic point-line SLAM through dense semantic methods Permalink

Published in IEEE Sensors Journal, 2024

This paper presents a novel SLAM system, Semantic Point and Line Features SLAM (DPL-SLAM). By using dection algorithm and LK flow constrains, our proposed SLAM framework can handle dynamic environments and can be used for real-time operation.

Balanced reward-inspired reinforcement learning for autonomous vehicle racing

Published in 6th Annual Learning for Dynamics & Control Conference, 2024

Simulation results on a physical engine demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms other DRL algorithms in achieving safer control during sharp bends, fewer collisions into track boundaries, and higher training quality among multiple tracks.
