We describe a system for the rapid acquisition of building interiors. In 40 hours, a two member team with a single acquisition device captured a model of the corridors and 20 indi...
We consider Kasteleyn and Kasteleyn-Percus matrices, which arise in enumerating matchings of planar graphs, up to matrix operations on their rows and columns. If such a matrix is ...
We present a stereo-based obstacle avoidance system for mobile vehicles. The system operates in three steps. First, it models the surface geometry of supporting surface and remove...
: Ahlswede and Winter [IEEE Trans. Inf. Th. 2002] introduced a Chernoff bound for matrix-valued random variables, which is a non-trivial generalization of the usual Chernoff bound ...
—We introduce a class of planar arcs and curves, called tame arcs, which is general enough to describe (parts of) the boundaries of planar real objects. A tame arc can have smoot...
