We present a novel geometric model for robot mapping based on shape. Shape similarity measure and matching techniques originating from computer vision are specially redesigned for ...
— Map learning is a fundamental task in mobile robotics because maps are required for a series of high level applications. In this paper, we address the problem of building maps ...

Abstract. This paper introduces a generalization of the nvalue constraint that bounds the number of distinct values taken by a set of variables.The generalized constraint (called n...
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a basic prerequisite in autonomous mobile robotics. Most existing visual SLAM approaches either assume a static environment, or sim...
— Robotic systems that can create and use visual maps in realtime have obvious advantages in many applications, from automatic driving to mobile manipulation in the home. In this...
