– A vision-based obstacle detection system for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is presented. Obstacles are detected by segmenting the image into sky and non-sky regions and...
We present the design and implementation of a vision-based feature tracking system for an autonomous helicopter. Visual sensing is used for estimating the position and velocity of...
Hermes is a middleware system for design and execution of activity-based applications in distributed environments. It supports mobile computation as an application implementation s...
