Snakes, or active contours, are used extensively in computer
vision and image processing applications, particularly
to locate object boundaries. Problems associated with

In this work, a Modified Vector Field Histogram (MVFH) has been developed to improve path planning and obstacle avoidance for a wheeled driven mobile robot. It permits the detecti...
In environments which possess relatively few features that enable a robot to unambiguously determine its location, global localization algorithms can result in multiple hypotheses...
