Title:  Mapping Down Under    

Abstract:
In this talk, I will briefly introduce the research at the UTS: Centre for Autonomous Systems. After that, I will go through my research in perception applied to infrastructure and livestock assessment, where I will briefly describe multiple mapping algorithms for diverse sensing modalities, such as sound-based, electromagnetic, vision and lidar-based sensors. In particular, I will focus on two of my recent work on 2D Mapping with Correlation and 3D Lidar-Inertial integration.

Speaker Bio:
Teresa Vidal-Calleja is currently Senior Lecturer at the UTS: Centre for Autonomous Systems in Sydney, Australia. She received her PhD in Automatic Control, Computer  Vision and Robotics from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC),  Barcelona, Spain at the Institut de Robotica Industrial. During her PhD studies, she was Visiting Scholar at the Active Vision Lab, University of Oxford, U.K., and the Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR), the University of Sydney, Australia. She was Postdoctoral Fellow at LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France. She went back to ACFR as a Research Fellow, later she joined UTS where she was UTS Chancellor's Research Fellow until 2017. Her research interests are in robotic perception; alternative sensing, mapping, SLAM, automatic recognition and autonomous navigation.
