We present a system for modeling buildings from a single correlation-based Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The model is constructed in two stages. The first stage segments the DEM ...
This paper describes an algorithm for generating compact 3D models of indoor environments with mobile robots. Our algorithm employs the expectation maximization algorithm to fit a...
Planar point location is among the most fundamental search problems in computational geometry. Although this problem has been heavily studied from the perspective of worst-case que...

While most previous work in planning manipulation tasks relies on the assumption of quasi-static conditions, there can be situations where the quasi-static assumption may not hold...
We present a new algorithm for unfolding planar polygonal linkages without self-intersection based on following the gradient flow of a “repulsive” energy function. This algor...
