— A robot exploring an environment can estimate its own motion and the relative positions of features in the environment. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms ...
Quadratic optimization lies at the very heart of many structural pattern recognition and computer vision problems, such as graph matching, object recognition, image segmentation, ...
— We describe a framework for finding and tracking “trails” for autonomous outdoor robot navigation. Through a combination of visual cues and ladar-derived structural inform...
In this paper a method for fitting open surfaces to an unorganized set of data points is presented using a level set representation of the surface. This is done by tracking a curv...
In this paper, we address the problem of estimating mesoscale dynamics of atmospheric layers from satellite image sequences. Relying on a physically sound vertical decomposition of...
