— The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) has been the de facto approach to the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem for nearly fifteen years. However, the EKF has two ...
Autonomous robots, such as automatic vacuum cleaners, toy robot dogs, and autonomous vehicles for the military, are rapidly becoming a part of everyday life. As a result the need ...
Abstract-- We deal with the problem of detecting and identifying body parts in depth images at video frame rates. Our solution involves a novel interest point detector for mesh and...
