A novel method for representing 3-D objects that unifies viewer and model centered object representations is presented. A unified 3-D frequency-domain representation (called Volum...
This paper presents a novel hierarchical approach to triangular mesh generation from height fields. A waveletbased multiresolution analysis technique is used to estimate local sha...
Detecting objects, estimating their pose and recovering 3D shape information is a critical problem in many vision and robotics applications. This paper addresses the above needs by...
The ability of a robot team to reconfigure itself is useful in many applications: for metamorphic robots to change shape, for swarm motion towards a goal, for biological systems to...
