Congratulations to MSL’s Rob Hewitt, who successfully defended his PhD thesis last month, entitled Intense Navigation: Using Active Sensor Intensity Observations To Improve Localization and Mapping. Rob is now a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Computer Vision Group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His research focuses on visual-inertial localization in environments with challenging lighting conditions where traditional algorithms fail.
