GS-EVT: Cross-Modal Event Camera Tracking based on Gaussian Splatting Tao Liu, Runze Yuan, Yi'ang Ju, Xun Xu, Jiaqi Yang, Xiangting Meng, Xavier Lagorce, Laurent Kneip ICRA 2025 Paper | Code | Video This paper introduces a robust event camera-based motion tracking method using gaussian splatting and novel pose parametrization for accurate tracking. |
Tao Liu (刘滔) I am a PhD student under joint supervision between ShanghaiTech University and BIGAI, advised by Prof. Jingya Wang and Research Scientist Baoxiong Jia. My current research interests lie in Embodied AI and Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN). Previously, I obtained my Master degree from the Mobile Perception Lab (MPL) at ShanghaiTech University in 2025, supervised by Prof. Laurent Kneip. There I worked on SLAM and 3DGS. Earlier, I earned my B.E. from Shanghai Maritime University in 2022, working closely with Prof. Tianzheng Wang in the Intelligent Car Lab. |
