— While robot mapping has seen massive strides , higher level abstractions in map representation are still not widespread. Maps containing semantic concepts such as objects and l...
We present a performance evaluation framework for visual feature extraction and matching in the visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) context. Although feature extra...
We consider exploration problems where a robot has to construct a complete map of an unknown environment. We assume that the environment is modeled by a directed, strongly connecte...
This paper proposes a three-dimensional (3D) body scanning system that uses passive stereo vision with a robot arm. So far, the reported 3D body scanning systems employ active 3D ...
We propose a complete process for designing, simulating, and fabricating synthetic skin for an animatronics character that mimics the face of a given subject and its expressions. ...
