— We present a novel plane tracking algorithm based on the direct update of surface parameters from two stereo images. The plane tracking algorithm is posed as an optimization pr...
This paper describes a working stereo-vision-based mobile robot that can navigate and autonomously explore its environment safely while building occupancy grid maps of the environ...
Abstract— Mobile robots rely on their ability of scene recognition to build a topological map of the environment and perform location-related tasks. In this paper, we describe a ...
Catadioptric omnidirectional sensors (catadioptric cameras) capture instantaneous images with panoramic 360 field of view. Entire surroundings are projected via a circularly symme...
We discuss the role of spatial representations and visual geometries in vision-based navigation. To a large extent, these choices determine the complexity and robustness of a given...
