Abstract— Man-made real-world environments are dominated by planar surfaces many of which constitute behaviorrelevant entities. Thus, the ability to perceive planar surfaces is v...
— In this work, we have extended the concept of constrained motion control of robots to surgical tasks that require multiple robots. We present virtual fixtures to guide the mot...
Shadowing effects dramatically enhance the realism of virtual environments by providing useful visual cues. Shadow mapping is an efficient algorithm for real-time shadow renderin...
The ability of finding its situation in a given environment is crucial for an autonomous agent. While navigating through a space, a mobile robot must be capable of finding its lo...
Algorithms that detect silhouettes, creases, and other edge based features often perform per-edge and per-face mesh computations using global adjacency information. These are unsu...
