: Negative information provides important additional knowledge that is not exploited for sensor data fusion tasks by default. This paper presents a new approach to incorporate such...
The paper presents the self-localization approach used by the World Champion in the Sony Four-Legged Robot League 2004. The method is based on a particle filter that makes use of ...
Starting with a set of calibrated photographs taken of a scene, voxel coloring algorithms reconstruct three-dimensional surface models on a finite spatial domain. In this paper, we...
