In this paper, we present two linear-size external memory data structures for approximate range searching. Our first structure, the BAR-B-tree, stores a set of N points in Rd and ...
— For a wide variety of sensor network environments, location information is unavailable or expensive to obtain. We propose a location-free, lightweight, distributed, and data-ce...
Abstract— This paper presents a new approach to the multirobot map-alignment problem that enables teams of robots to build joint maps without initial knowledge of their relative ...
Abstract— We study the problem of registering local relative pose estimates to produce a global consistent trajectory of a moving robot. Traditionally, this problem has been stud...
This paper presents a novel 3D shape descriptor "The Generalized Shape Distributions" for effective shape matching and analysis, by taking advantage of both local and gl...
