Ant-sweep: a decentral strategy for cooperative cleaning in expanding domains
Several recent works considered cooperative cleaning in static and dynamic environments, which incorporates a swarm of simple robots cleaning an expanding region of contaminated c...

Scan Alignment and 3-D Surface Modeling with a Helicopter Platform
This paper describes initial results for a laser-based aerial mapping system. Our approach applies a real-time laser scan matching algorithm to 2-D range data acquired by a remote...

Visibility maps of realistic terrains have linear smoothed complexity
We study the complexity of the visibility map of terrains whose triangles are fat, not too steep and have roughly the same size. It is known that the complexity of the visibility ...

Direct Ray Tracing of Displacement Mapped Triangles
We present an algorithm for ray tracing displacement maps that requires no additional storage over the base model. Displacement maps are rarely used in ray tracing due to the cost...
