In this paper, we propose a novel type of 3-D scanning system named ‘Ladder-type laser scanning system,’ designed for scanning vertical and narrow areas. Two line scanners are...
We consider the problem of grasping novel objects, specifically ones that are being seen for the first time through vision. Grasping a previously unknown object, one for which a 3...

We present a system at the junction between Computer Vision and Computer Graphics, to produce a 3-D model of an object as observed in a single image, with a minimum of high-level ...
This paper proposes a method for the rapid and precise estimation of human hand postures by combining 2-D appearance matching and 3-D model-based fitting. First a rough posture e...
— We present a systematic method for constructing 3-D models of large outdoor sites. The method is designed for a mobile robot platform and incorporates automated acquisition of ...
We present a systematic view planning method to assist construction of 3-D models of large outdoor sites using a mobile robot platform with mounted scanner. In the first stage, w...
— In this paper we address the joint problems of automated data acquisition and view planning for large–scale indoor and outdoor sites. Our method proceeds in two distinct stag...
We consider the task of creating a 3-d model of a large novel environment, given only a small number of images of the scene. This is a difficult problem, because if the images are...
