A regularization-based approach to 3-D reconstruction from multiple images is proposed. As one of the most widely used multiple-view 3-D reconstruction algorithms, Space Carving c...
A process is described to determine the shot accuracy of an automatic robotic pool playing system. The system comprises a ceiling-mounted gantry robot, a special purpose cue end-e...

This paper considers the problem of shape-from-shading using nearby planar distributed illuminants. It is shown that a rectangular planar nearby distributed uniform isotropic illu...
This study deals with the design of an enhanced selfreferencing algorithm for a typical hand-held 3D sensor. The enhancement we propose takes the form of a new algorithm which for...
The Nomad 200 and the Nomad SuperScouts are among the most popular platforms used, for research in robotics. Built in the early 1990’s they were the base of choice for many mobil...
A set of microarray images were acquired by a sequence of biological experiments which were scanned via a high resolution scanner. For each spot corresponding to a gene, the ratio...
We consider the problem of vision-based position estimation in urban environments. In particular, we are interested in position estimation from visual cues, but using only limited...
A method is proposed to detect multi-part man-made or natural objects in complex images. It consists in first extracting simple curves and straight lines from the edge map. Then,...
