Paper under review.

The Drunkard’s Dataset, a challenging collection of synthetic data targeting visual navigation and reconstruction in deformable environments. And the Drunkard’s Odometry, a novel monocular RGB-D deformable odometry method that breaks down optical flow estimate into rigid-body camera motion and non-rigid scene deformation.

Deepening for the first time in Bayesian deep networks for single-view depth estimation in colonoscopies.

A pipeline that estimates the 6-degrees-of-freedom camera pose and dense 3D scene models from monocular endoscopic videos.

First collection of complete endoscopy sequences acquired during regular medical practice to support the development visual SLAM methods.

Based on the Jon Barron's template.
