This paper addresses the point-wise estimation of differential properties of a smooth manifold S--a curve in the plane or a surface in 3D--assuming a point cloud sampled over S is...
In order to re-use existing models of the environment mobile robots must be able to estimate their position and orientation in such models. Most of the existing methods for positi...

Classical visual servoing techniques need a strong a priori knowledge of the shape and the dimensions of the observed objects. In this paper, we present how the 2 1/2 D visual serv...
We address the problem of 2D-3D pose estimation in difficult viewing conditions, such as low illumination, cluttered background, and large highlights and shadows that appear on t...
This paper presents a novel scheme for locating multiple light sources and estimating their intensities from a pair of stereo images of a sphere. No prior knowledge of the location...
