Invariant feature descriptors such as SIFT and GLOH have been demonstrated to be very robust for image matching and visual recognition. However, such descriptors are generally par...
— Local maps algorithms have demonstrated to be well suited for mapping large environments as can reduce the computational cost and improve the consistency of the final estimati...
Image matching is a fundamental task of many problems in computer vision. This paper presents a novel local feature descriptor based on the gradient distance and orientation histo...
For a mobile robot to act autonomously, it must be able to construct a model of its interaction with the environment. Oates et al. developed an unsupervised learning method that pr...
