This paper presents an algorithm, called PCG, for planning the foothold positions of spider-like robots in planar tunnels bounded by piecewise linear walls. The paper focuses on 3-...
—A near-regular texture (NRT) is a geometric and photometric deformation from its regular origin—a congruent wallpaper pattern formed by 2D translations of a single tile. A dyn...
This paper presents an open contour tracking method that employs an arc-emission Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The algorithm encodes the shape information of the structure in a spati...

In this paper we tackle the problem of providing a mobile robot with the ability to build a map of its environment using data gathered during navigation. The data correspond to the...
Abstract--This paper proposes a method for estimating extrinsic camera parameters using video images and position data acquired by GPS. In conventional methods, the accuracy of the...
