— Grasping is a central issue of various robot applications, especially when unknown objects have to be manipulated by the system. In earlier work, we have shown the efficiency ...
This paper describes a segmentation method for extracting salient regions in outdoor scenes using both 3-D laser scans and imagery information. Our approach is a bottomup attentiv...
In recent years manifold methods have attracted a considerable amount of attention in machine learning. However most algorithms in that class may be termed “manifold-motivated...
This paper describes the main features of an optical instrument for the acquisition and the registration of 3D images. The system exploits the projection of structured light, spec...
Abstract. Techniques for drawing graphs based on force-directed placement and virtual physical models have proven surprisingly successful in producing good layouts of undirected gr...
