Abstract

The proposed project deals with localization in natural environments. It builds
on the applicant's experience in registration of photos with a 3D geo-referenced
terrain model and on the expertise of graphics group @FIT-BUT in image
processing, computer graphics & vision, machine learning and experience with
research and development of avionics. It proposes an investigation of image to
model registration techniques allowing for building accurate visual localization
systems that are more robust to qualities of input photos. Particular attention
will be devoted to finding applications of visual localization systems in
challenging scenarios, e.g. in aircraft systems.
