Contact email: john dot lim at rsise.anu.edu.au

I am a PhD student with NICTA and RSISE, Australian National University, in Canberra.


Research Interests

I am currently working on computer vision problems such as camera self-motion and object motion estimation. I am also interested in the use of vision for navigation and in feature detection and recognition.

Publications

"Robust Visual Homing with Landmark Angles", by J. Lim and N. Barnes, in Proceedings of Robotics Science and Systems (RSS 09), accepted, Seattle, 2009. pdf 
Supplementary videos:  homing_videos.zip
The videos demonstrate long-range homing which involves multiple local homing 'hops' where the robot visits intermediate goal locations (marked on the ground) in order to get to the final goal.

"Estimation of the Epipole using Optical Flow at Antipodal Points", by J. Lim and N. Barnes, accepted, Special Issue on Omnidirectional Vision: Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 2009

"Directions of Egomotion from Antipodal Points", by J. Lim and N. Barnes, in Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR, oral paper ), Anchorage, 2008. pdf 
Supplementary videos (static scene):  wmv version   mpg version
Videos in addition to submitted supplementary material (non-static scene with moving objects):  non-static (mpg)

"Estimation of the Epipole using Optical Flow at Antipodal Points", by J. Lim and N. Barnes, in IEEE ICCV Workshop: OMNIVIS, Oct, 2007.
