— Matching laser range scans observed at different points in time is a crucial component of many robotics tasks, including mobile robot localization and mapping. While existing t...
In this work we derive the maximum likelihood estimator for passive wavefront curvature ranging systems operating in environments subject to a spatial coherence loss. As a consequ...
This paper studies two types of spatial relationships that can be learned from training examples for object recognition. The first one employs deformable relationships between obj...
FPGA has long been considered an attractive platform for high performance implementations of string matching. However, as the size of pattern dictionaries continues to grow, such ...
In this paper, we present a novel feature extraction approach based on Curvature Scale Space (CSS) for translation, scale, and rotation invariant recognition of hand poses. First,...
