– In Bayesian based approaches to mobile robot simultaneous localization and mapping, Rao-Blackwellized particle filters (RBPF) enable the efficient estimation of the posterior b...
Abstract--This paper proposes a parallel hardware architecture for image feature detection based on the SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm and applied to the SLAM (...

A fundamental problem in depth from defocus is the measurement of relative defocus between images. The performance of previously proposed focus operators are inevitably sensitive t...
This paper considers trajectory planning problems for autonomous robots in information gathering tasks. The objective of the planning is to maximize the information gathered withi...
