A sampled object representation (SOR) defines a graphical model using data obtained from a sampling process, which takes a collection of samples at discrete positions in space in...

This paper introduces an edge-based object recognition method that is robust with respect to clutter, occlusion and object deformations. The method combines the use of local featu...
Virtual prototyping and numerical simulations are increasingly replacing real mock-ups and experiments in industrial product development. Many of these simulations, e.g. for the p...
—Space exploitation will require efficient techniques for manipulating passive objects on orbit. This work presents a manipulation concept that utilizes both the on-off thruste...
Modal analysis provides a powerful tool for efficiently simulating the behavior of deformable objects. This paper shows how manipulation, collision, and other constraints may be ...
