We present an algorithm for computing the distance between two free-form surfaces. Using line geometry, the distance computation is reformulated as a simple instance of a surface-...
In this paper we identify a class of Quasi-Birth-and-Death (QBD) processes where the transitions to higher (resp. lower) levels are restricted to occur only from (resp. to) a subs...
We present a framework for designing stable control schemes for systems whose dynamic equations change as they evolve on the state space. It is usually difficult or even impossible...
Over the last decade, there has been an increasing interest in developing vision systems and technologies that support the operation of unmanned platforms for positioning, mapping...
This paper derives a near optimal distributed Kalman filter to estimate a large-scale random field monitored by a network of N sensors. The field is described by a sparsely con...
