Much past research on finding text in natural scenes uses bottom-up grouping processes to detect candidate text features as a first processing step. While such grouping procedures...
Fully automatic 3D modeling from a catadioptric image sequence has rarely been addressed until now, although this is a long-standing problem for perspective images. All previous c...
We present an image-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) framework with online, appearanceonly loop closing. We adopt a layered approach with metric maps over small ...
We have developed a two-phase generative / discriminative learning procedure for the recognition of classes of objects and concepts in outdoor scenes. Our method uses both multipl...
In this paper we address the problem of reconstructing a structurally simple surface representation from point datasets of scanned scenes as they occur for instance in city scanni...
