— 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...
Accurate estimation and tracking of dynamic tissue deformation is important to motion compensation, intra-operative surgical guidance and navigation in minimally invasive surgery. ...
In the past, quantized local descriptors have been shown to be a good base for the representation of images, that can be applied to a wide range of tasks. However, current approac...
Autonomous mobile robots need to adapt their behavior to the terrain over which they drive, and to predict the traversability of the terrain so that they can effectively plan thei...
