— Unlike active force closure, which is a property for the multi-finger robotic hand grasping, passive force closure are involved in the grasping systems with constraining devic...
—We present a real-time algorithm which can recover the 3D trajectory of a monocular camera, moving rapidly through a previously unknown scene. Our system, which we dub MonoSLAM,...
