— A novel approach is presented which aims at building autonomously visual models of unknown objects, using a humanoid robot. Although good methods have been proposed for the spe...
In the paper, we present a novel approach to modeling plants from images by detecting apex features. First, an effective algorithm is proposed to extract apex features in volumetr...

— It is frequently accepted in the manipulation literature that tactile sensing is needed to improve the precision of robot manipulation. However, there is no consensus on how th...
This paper presents a semi-automatic wireframe acquisition system. The system uses real-time (25Hz) tracking of a user specified 2D wireframe and intermittent camera pose paramete...
This paper describes a method to recover scene geometry from the second-bounce of light transport. We show that form factors (up to a scaling ambiguity) can be derived from the sec...
