In urban areas, buildings are often used as landmarks for localization. Reliable and efficient recognition of buildings is crucial for enabling this functionality. Motivated by t...
This paper presents a new appearance-based place recognition system for topological localization. The method uses a panoramic vision system to sense the environment. Color images ...
Color object recognition methods that are based on image retrieval algorithms can handle changes of illumination via image normalization, e.g. simple color-channel-normalization1 ...
In this paper we demonstrate that speech recognition can be effectively applied to information retrieval (IR) applications. Our system exploits the fact that the intended words of...
Recently, several music information retrieval (MIR) systems have been developed which retrieve musical pieces by the user’s singing voice. All of these systems use only the melo...
