Abstract— The greatest characteristic of soft-fingered manipulation is its softness and flexibility during manipulating operations. In previous works, this intrinsic property h...
This paper introduces a uniform statistical framework for both 3-D and 2-D object recognition using intensity images as input data. The theoretical part provides a mathematical too...
Abstract. In this paper I argue that a qualitative formalization of built environments needs to take into account: (1) the ontological distinction between bonafide and fiat bound...
This paper proposes a method for obtaining surface orientations of transparent objects using polarization in highlight. Since the highlight, the specular component of reflection l...
Objects in scenes interact with each other in complex ways. A key observation is that these interactions manifest themselves as predictable visual patterns in the image. Discoveri...
