Sensor Analysis for Fault Detection in Tightly-Coupled Multi-Robot Team Tasks
— This paper presents a sensor analysis based fault detection approach (which we call SAFDetection) that is used to monitor tightly-coupled multi-robot team tasks. Our approach a...

Can Lucas-Kanade be used to estimate motion parallax in 3D cluttered scenes?
When an observer moves in a 3D static scene, the motion field depends on the depth of the visible objects and on the observer’s instantaneous translation and rotation. By compu...

A non-myopic approach to visual search
We show how a greedy approach to visual search — i.e., directly moving to the most likely location of the target — can be suboptimal, if the target object is hard to detect. I...
