We address the problem of minimum distance localization in environments that may contain self-similarities. A mobile robot is placed at an unknown location inside a ¢¤£ self-sim...
This paper proposes a new map building framework for mobile robot named Localization-Free Mapping by Dimensionality Reduction (LFMDR). In this framework, the robot map building is...
In this paper, a new approach to Mediterranean Water Eddy border detection is proposed. Kohonen self-organizing maps (SOM) are used as data mining tools to cluster image pixels thr...
