Abstract. Stereo cameras, laser rangers and other time-of-flight ranging devices are utilized with increasing frequency as they can provide information in the 3D plane. The abilit...
The capability of maintaining the pose of the mobile robot is central for basic navigation and map building tasks. In this paper we describe a vision-based hybrid localization sch...
We consider the use of so-called top-points for object retrieval. These points are based on scale-space and catastrophe theory, and are invariant under gray value scaling and offse...
One of the key requirements of augmented reality systems is a robust real-time camera pose estimation. In this paper we present a robust approach, which does neither depend on ofï...
This paper presents a novel approach for detecting affine invariant interest points. Our method can deal with significant affine transformations including large scale changes. Such...
