Small mobile robots typically have little on-board processing power for time-consuming vision algorithms. Here we show how they can quickly extract very dense yet highly useful inf...
— This paper presents a geometrical feature detection system to use with conventional 2D laser rangefinders. This system consists of three main modules: data acquisition and pre...
Abstract--In robotic applications of visual simultaneous localization and mapping techniques, loop-closure detection and global localization are two issues that require the capacit...
We describe a method to segment rectangular objects that lie on a slightly textured background of an a-priori unknown colour. Our contribution consists of a fast and accurate back...
We pose the recognition problem as data association. In this setting, a novel object is explained solely in terms of a small set of exemplar objects to which it is visually simila...
