We examine the problem of finding a single meeting location for a group of heterogeneous autonomous mobile robots, such that the total system cost of traveling to the rendezvous i...

In this paper we introduce the Fourier tag, a synthetic fiducial marker used to visually encode information and provide controllable positioning. The Fourier tag is a synthetic ta...
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...
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...
In this paper we propose a wavelet-based light representation. This representation is used for recovering illumination and reflectance of a scene with known geometry from a singl...
We present a performance evaluation framework for visual feature extraction and matching in the visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) context. Although feature extra...
This paper reports on the implementation of a GPUbased, real-time eye blink detector on very low contrast images acquired under near-infrared illumination. This detector is part o...

Abstract— We present a formal framework for robotic cooperation in which we use an extension to Petri nets, known as workflow nets, to establish a protocol among mobile agents b...

This paper proposes an approach to compute viewnormalized body part trajectories of pedestrians from monocular video sequences. The proposed approach first extracts the 2D trajec...
Recent developments in the consumer market have indicated that the average user of a personal computer is likely to also own a webcam. With the emergence of this new user group wi...
