In this work, a Modified Vector Field Histogram (MVFH) has been developed to improve path planning and obstacle avoidance for a wheeled driven mobile robot. It permits the detecti...
— Needles are commonly used in medical practice as a minimally invasive means to reach subsurface targets for diagnosis or therapy delivery. Recent results indicate that steerabl...

We present a stochastic tracking algorithm for surveillance video where targets are dim and at low resolution. The algorithm builds motion models for both background and foregroun...
— This paper presents the design, the development and the experiments on a two degrees of freedom (2DoF) microsystem. The originality of the microsystem is its ability to do angu...
In object tracking, occlusions significantly undermine the performance of tracking algorithms. Unlike the existing methods that solely depend on the observed target appearance to ...
