6D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) or 6D Concurrent Localization and Mapping of mobile robots considers six degrees of freedom for the robot pose, namely, the x, y and...
We present a competitive strategy for walking into the kernel of an initially unknown star-shaped polygon. From an arbitrary start point, s, within the polygon, our strategy find...
In this paper a novel Polar Scan Matching (PSM) approach is described that works in the laser scanner’s polar coordinate system, therefore taking advantage of the structure of t...
The iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is widely used for the registration of geometric data. One of its main drawbacks is its quadratic time complexity O(N2 ) with the shape...
Recent work on spoken document retrieval has suggested that it is adequate to take the singlebest output of ASR, and perform text retrieval on this output. This is reasonable enou...
