— The creation of a robot capable of navigating in unknown urban environments without the use of GPS data or prior map knowledge is envisioned in the Autonomous City Explorer (AC...
In this paper we propose the use of fractals and especially the Hilbert curve, in order to design good distance-preserving mappings. Such mappings improve the performance of secon...
In this paper, we adopt local Fourier transform as a texture representation scheme and derive eight characteristic maps for describing different aspects of co-occurrence relations...
The notions of ultrametric distances and cyclic valuations appear when the set of values of the distance map is a cyclically ordered set. These structures can be described as subsp...
Ontologies represent a method of formally expressing a shared understanding of information, and have been seen by many authors as a prerequisite for the "Semantic web". ...
