We propose a novel way to induce a random field from an energy function on discrete labels. It amounts to locally injecting noise to the energy potentials, followed by finding t...
Approaches based on local features and descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition due to their robustness with regard to occlusions and geometrical defor...
The solution to the problem of mapping an environment and at the same time using this map to localize (the simultaneous localization and mapping, SLAM, problem) is a key prerequis...
— This paper presents an approach to vision-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Our approach uses the scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) as features and app...
Particle filter is a sequential Monte Carlo method for object tracking in a recursive Bayesian filtering framework. The efficiency and accuracy of the particle filter depends on t...
