Project description
Third-cycle subject: Computer science
The student will be part of the team working on the research project, Autonomous Navigation Support from Real-Time Visual Mapping, funded by the National Aeronautics Research Programme (NFFP) through VINNOVA. The project addresses challenges encountered in aerial positioning with visual mapping, e.g. What type of ground reference data (e.g. aerial or satellite images, terrain models, 3D point clouds) are best suited? What algorithms can compute position and orientation accurately and fast enough? As the outcomes of the project, we aim to provide a foundation for the development of visual mapping-based systems.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be placed at the Royal Institute of Technology and supervised by Associate Professor Atsuto Maki (https://www.kth.se/profile/atsuto/).
