People detection is a key capacity for robotics systems that have to interact with humans. This paper addresses the problem of detecting people using multiple layers of 2D laser ra...
We introduce a new formal model in which a learning algorithm must combine a collection of potentially poor but statistically independent hypothesis functions in order to approxima...
State-of-the-art story link detection systems, that is, systems that determine whether two stories are about the same event or linked, are usually based on the cosine-similarity m...
Abstract--Recently, classifier grids have shown to be a considerable alternative for object detection from static cameras. However, one drawback of such approaches is drifting if a...
