This paper presents an appearance–based method to automatically determine places from vision data for topological mapping. The approach exploits the continuity of the visual app...
Abstract— Vision systems are used more and more in ’personal’ robots interacting with humans, since semantic information about objects and places can be derived from the rich...

Computing smooth and optimal one-to-one maps between surfaces of same topology is a fundamental problem in graphics and such a method provides us a ubiquitous tool for geometric mo...
Understanding high-dimensional real world data usually requires learning the structure of the data space. The structure maycontain high-dimensional clusters that are related in co...
— In robotics, appearance-based topological map building consists in infering the topology of the environment explored by a robot from its sensor measurements. In this paper, we ...
