Geometric reconstruction of the environment from images is critical in autonomous mapping and robot navigation. Geometric reconstruction involves feature tracking, i.e., locating ...
Abstract--We evaluate a technique that uses an embedded network deployed pervasively throughout an environment to aid robots in navigation. The embedded nodes do not know their abs...

In this paper, we tackle the problem of unsupervised selection and posterior recognition of visual landmarks in images sequences acquired by an indoor mobile robot. This is a high...
Abstract— This paper applies some previously studied extended Kalman filter techniques for planar road geometry estimation to the domain of autonomous navigation of offhighway v...
Abstract— The localization capability is central to basic navigation tasks and motivates development of various visual navigation systems. In this paper we describe a two stage a...
