Cylindrical panoramic mosaics can be created by aligning and stitching images from a series, captured by a camera rotating around its optical center. The transformation between tw...
This paper presents a novel method for mobile robot localization using visual appearance features. A multidimensional-histogram is used to describe the global appearance features ...
— We present a new algorithm for solving the global localization problem called Frozen-Time Smoother (FTS). Time is ‘frozen’, in the sense that the belief always refers to th...
—This paper introduces a new tone mapping operator that performs local linear adjustments on small overlapping windows over the entire input image. While each window applies a lo...
