—Image-based computation of a 3D map for an indoor environment is a very challenging task, but also a useful step for vision-based navigation and path planning for autonomous sys...
Augmented reality applications often rely on a detailed environment model to support features such as annotation and occlusion. Usually, such a model is constructed offline, whic...
Abstract— Vision systems are used more and more in ’personal’ robots interacting with humans, since semantic information about objects and places can be derived from the rich...

Over the past decade, tremendous amount of research activity has focused around the problem of localization in GPS denied environments. Challenges with localization are highlighte...
A key component of a mobile robot system is the ability to localize itself accurately and, simultaneously, to build a map of the environment. Most of the existing algorithms are b...
