Several formalisms have been proposed for qualitative reasoning about regions and their topological relations in space. These formalisms, based on pairwise relations, do not allow...
We describe an extension of B-splines to surfacesof arbitrary topology, including arbitrary boundaries. The technique inherits many of the properties of B-splines: local control, ...
This paper presents an appearance–based method to automatically determine places from vision data for topological mapping. The approach exploits the continuity of the visual app...
In this paper, we extend Moss and Parikh’s approach to reasoning about topological properties of knowledge. We turn that system in a spatio-temporal direction by successively ad...
Latent class models (LCM) represent the high dimensional data in a smaller dimensional space in terms of latent variables. They are able to automatically discover the patterns from...
