— Data aggregation protocols can reduce the cost of communication, thereby extending the lifetime of sensor networks. Prior work on data aggregation protocols has focused on tree...
— This paper describes a panoramic view-based navigation in outdoor environments. We have been developing a two-phase navigation method. In the training phase, the robot acquires...

— Despite the fact that sensor networks could often be deployed over three-dimensional (3D) terrains, most approaches on sensor localizations are designed and evaluated consideri...
Polygonal meshes obtained from acquisition of real-world objects may easily exhibit topological or geometrical defects, which often prevent subsequent processing and analysis to p...
