Laser based people tracking systems have been developed for mobile robotic or intelligent surveillance areas. Existing systems rely on laser point clustering to extract object loc...
We present a novel split and merge based method for dividing a given metric map into distinct regions, thus effectively creating a topological map on top of a metric one. The init...
The capability of maintaining the pose of the mobile robot is central for basic navigation and map building tasks. In this paper we describe a vision-based hybrid localization sch...
