— Local image features are used for a wide range of applications in computer vision and range imaging. While there is a great variety of detector-descriptor combinations for imag...
Most sensors used for robot navigation fall into one of two broad categories: range sensors that give approximate distances to obstacles, and object-based sensors that detect and ...
Potential function approaches to robot navigation provide an elegant paradigm for expressing multiple constraints and goals in mobile robot navigation problems 9]. As an example, ...
In this paper we present a novel approach to mobile robot navigation in natural unstructured environments. Natural scenes can be considered as random fields where a large number ...
In this paper we present a dynamic data structure, useful for robot navigation in an unknown, simplyconnected planar environment. The guiding philosophy in this work is to avoid t...
Visual attention refers to the ability of a vision system to rapidly detect visually salient locations in a given scene. On the other hand, the selection of robust visual landmarks...
Abstract. In recent years, 6 Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) Pose Estimation and 3D Mapping is becoming more important not only in the robotics community for applications such as robot na...
Abstract—Autonomous robot navigation in unstructured outdoor environments is a challenging area of active research. The navigation task requires identifying safe, traversable pat...

Abstract— Stigmergy is a mechanism that allows the coordination of actions within the same agent or across different agents by means of traces left in the environment. We propose...
An algorithm for online distance computation based on images taken in a sewer by a robot-inspector is presented. Modern concrete sewers are made of standard cylindrical pipes sepa...
