— While robot mapping has seen massive strides , higher level abstractions in map representation are still not widespread. Maps containing semantic concepts such as objects and l...
— In this paper, we present an image-based robot incremental localization algorithm which uses a panoramic image-based map enhanced with depth from a laser range finder. The ima...
In previous work we have presented a prototype of an assistant system for the blind that can be used for self-localization and interactive object identification of static objects ...
— Mobile robots have to detect and handle a variety of potential hazards to navigate autonomously. We present a real-time stereo vision based mapping algorithm for identifying an...
This paper concerns the exploration of a natural environment by a mobile robot equipped with both a video color camera and a stereo-vision system. We focus on the interest of such ...
