3D occupancy perception, also known as stereo depth perception, is a fundamental building block of spatial perception. The underlying principle is called triangulation, i.e., finding matched points between two adjacent overlapping images captured by a stereo camera, and calculating the disparities between the matched points to derive depth information.

This project is established for a key purpose of driving products that will democratise spatial perception of future autonomous and tele-operated robotic systems. Vilota specialises in vision perception solutions for mobile robots to achieve autonomous navigating capabilities in GPS-denied environments.

The target and emphasis is to grow a suite of vision sensors and further develop an advanced vision perception software stack.

By using state-of-the-art dense depth estimation methods, the primary aim of this project is to use vision-based perception to produce images of significantly higher resolution in comparison to competing technologies using multiple cameras.
