—In this paper, we present fast and efficient methods for the lossy encoding of object boundaries that are given as eight-connect chain codes. We approximate the boundary by a p...
This paper presents a novel procedure for the representation and coding of 3D surfaces using hierarchical adaptive triangulation. The proposed procedure is based on pyramidal anal...
— We present a localization method for robots equipped with only a compass, a contact sensor and a map of the environment. In this framework, a localization strategy can be descr...
