Abstract--In robotic applications of visual simultaneous localization and mapping techniques, loop-closure detection and global localization are two issues that require the capacit...
Abstract. This paper concerns the exploration of a natural environment by a mobile robot equipped with both a video camera and a range sensor (stereo or laser range finder); we fo...

— A fast and robust method for visual odometry based on the Fourier-Mellin Invariant (FMI) descriptor is presented. It extends previous FMI based approaches in two ways. First, a...
The pervasiveness of computers in everyday life coupled with recent rapid advances in computer technology have created both the need and the means for sophisticated Human Computer...
