Loop Closing in Topological Maps
— In order to create consistent maps of unknown environments, a robot must be able to recognize when it has returned to a previously visited place. In this paper, we introduce an...

Hybrid Simultaneous Localization and Map Building: Closing the Loop with Multi-Hypotheses Tracking
In this paper simultaneous localization and map building is performed with a hybrid, metric - topological, approach. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing ...

Visual loop closing using multi-resolution SIFT grids in metric-topological SLAM
We present an image-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) framework with online, appearanceonly loop closing. We adopt a layered approach with metric maps over small ...

Incremental Spectral Clustering and Its Application To Topological Mapping
Abstract— This paper presents a novel use of spectral clustering algorithms to support cases where the entries in the affinity matrix are costly to compute. The method is increm...

Graph based topological analysis of tessellated surfaces
In this paper a graph-based method is presented which not only characterizes topological classification of the tessellated surfaces but also simultaneously generates the substanti...
