This article presents vision functions needed on a mobile robot to deal with landmark-based navigation in buildings. Landmarks are planar, quadrangular surfaces, which must be dis...
This article describes visual functions dedicated to the extraction and recognition of planar quadrangles detected from a single camera. Extraction is based on a relaxation scheme...
Visual attention refers to the ability of a vision system to rapidly detect visually salient locations in a given scene. On the other hand, the selection of robust visual landmarks...
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 ...
In this paper two methods for the detection and recognition of landmarks to be used in topological modeling for autonomous mobile robots are presented. The first method is based o...
