Abstract. This paper suggests a novel representation for documents that is intended to improve precision. This representation is generated by combining two central techniques: Rand...
This paper describes a computational model for deriving a decomposition of objects from laser rangefinder data. The process aims to produce a set of parts defined by compactness a...
