We present a new method for robustly decomposing a 3D voxel shape into disjoint segments using the medial surface, also called surface skeleton. The boundaries of the simplified ...
This paper describes a class of augmented surface elements which we call patchlets. Patchlets are planar surface elements generated from dense stereo vision 3D range images. Patch...
We present a stereo-based obstacle avoidance system for mobile vehicles. The system operates in three steps. First, it models the surface geometry of supporting surface and remove...
We introduce a two-step iterative segmentation and registration method to find coplanar surfaces among stereo images of a polyhedral environment. The novelties of this paper are:...
This paper describes a working stereo-vision-based mobile robot that can navigate and autonomously explore its environment safely while building occupancy grid maps of the environ...
