We have two papers accepted at the 2015 Conference on Computer and Robot Vision in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Congratulations, Lee, Valentin, Jacob and Faizan!

Lee Clement’s work on a monocular Visual Teach and Repeat (VT&R) pipeline for mobile robots will be presented at the FSR 2015 conference in Toronto in June. The paper demonstrates that basic information about camera placement can be employed in a monocular VT&R system to enable kilometre-scale route repetition with performance nearly identical to that of stereo VT&R. Congratulations Lee!

Congratulations to STARS lab PhD student Lee Clement for being awarded the prestigious Molson Fellowship! This fellowship was established with a generous donation from the Kenneth M. Molson Foundation and matching funds from the University of Toronto and the Ontario Government.
