This paper presents a very efficient SLAM algorithm that works by hierarchically dividing the map into local regions and subregions. At each level of the hierarchy each region stor...
In this paper, we describe methods to localize a mobile robot in an indoor environment from visual information. An appearance-based approach is adopted in which the environment is ...
— The need for reliable maps of subterranean spaces too hazardous for humans to occupy has motivated the use of robotic technology as mapping tools. As such, we present a systemi...
