— Scan-matching based on data from a laser scanner is frequently used for mapping and localization. This paper presents an scan-matching approach based instead on visual informat...

Current feature-based object recognition methods use information derived from local image patches. For robustness, features are engineered for invariance to various transformation...
We present a fast, simple location recognition and image localization method that leverages feature correspondence and geometry estimated from large Internet photo collections. Suc...
Abstract Localization is a key issue for a mobile robot, in particular in environments where a globally accurate positioning system, such as GPS, is not available. In these environ...
We propose a two-phase heuristic for crossing reduction in circular layouts. While the first algorithm uses a greedy policy to build a good initial layout, an adaptation of the si...
