The ability of finding its situation in a given environment is crucial for an autonomous agent. While navigating through a space, a mobile robot must be capable of finding its lo...
Visual dictionaries are widely employed in object recognition to map unordered bags of local region descriptors into feature vectors for image classification. Most visual dictiona...
Localizing objects in images is a difficult task and represents the first step to the solution of the object recognition problem. This paper presents a novel approach to the local...
Skeletons are important shape descriptors in object representation and recognition. Typically, skeletons of volumetric models are computed using iterative thinning. However, tradi...
Shape indexing is a way of making rapid associations between features detected in an image and object models that could have produced them. When model databases are large, the use...
