**FEATURED ON CNET!** UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab develops new technologies for fire surveillance

April 14, 2021

The Coordinated Robotics Lab has developed new image processing techniques for characterization of structural fires by small self-righting Segway-like vehicles.  This system takes the thermal data taken by the vehicle's infrared camera and maps it onto the 3d scene constructed using the vehicle's stereo RGB cameras, thereby creating a temperature-painted virtual reality as it drives through a smoky building with hot spots and people distributed within it.
