— The recent progress in robot mapping (or SLAM) algorithms has focused on estimating either point features (such as landmarks) or grid-based representations. Both of these repre...
The point placement problem is to determine the positions of a linear set of points, P = {p1, p2, p3, . . . , pn}, uniquely, up to translation and reflection, from the fewest poss...
This paper deals with the problem of finding the movement of a mobile robot given two consecutive laser scans. The proposed method extracts a line map from the sequence of points ...
Camera calibration is an important step in obtaining 3D information from 2D images. Generally camera parameters can be obtained by using traditional methods if a calibration object...
Abstract-- We present a vision- and ladar-based approach to autonomous driving on rural and desert roads that has been tested extensively in a closed-loop system. The vision compon...
