A stereo vision based mapping algorithm for detecting inclines, drop-offs, and obstacles for safe local navigation
— Mobile robots have to detect and handle a variety of potential hazards to navigate autonomously. We present a real-time stereo vision based mapping algorithm for identifying an...

Unsupervised identification of useful visual landmarks using multiple segmentations and top-down feedback
In this paper, we tackle the problem of unsupervised selection and posterior recognition of visual landmarks in images sequences acquired by an indoor mobile robot. This is a high...
