Recently, the problem of efficiently supporting advanced query operators, such as nearest neighbor or range queries, over multidimensional data in widely distributed environments...
—Emerging Web2.0 applications such as virtual worlds or social networking websites strongly differ from usual OLTP applications. First, the transactions are encapsulated in an AP...
We present a method for efficient and reliable geo-positioning of images. It relies on image-based matching of the query images onto a trellis of existing images that provides acc...
Abstract— Most unmanned aerial robots use a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such as GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, for their navigation. However, from time to time the GNS...
This paper presents a probing-based method for probabilistic localization in automated robotic assembly. We consider peg-in-hole problems in which a needle-like peg has a single p...
