— This paper addresses the consistency issue of the Extended Kalman Filter approach to the simultaneous localization and mapping (EKF-SLAM) problem. Linearization of the inherent...
— Today, lightweight SLAM algorithms are needed in many embedded robotic systems. In this paper the Orthogonal SLAM (OrthoSLAM ) algorithm is presented and empirically validated....
This paper presents a new technique for rendering caustics on non-Lambertian surfaces. The method is based on an extension of the photon map which removes previous restrictions li...
An interactive system for designing curved surfaces is proposed which is based on direct manipulation of a single-view shaded image of this surface. Apart from functions like carv...
This paper describes a practical dynamic route planning method using real road maps in a wide area. The maps include traffic signals, road classes, and the number of lanes. The pr...
