— This paper concerns context and feature-sensitive re-sampling of workspace surfaces represented by 3D point clouds. We interpret a point cloud as the outcome of repetitive and ...
— While robot mapping has seen massive strides , higher level abstractions in map representation are still not widespread. Maps containing semantic concepts such as objects and l...
— Three-dimensional digital terrain models are of fundamental importance in many areas such as the geo-sciences and outdoor robotics. Accurate modeling requires the ability to de...
Abstract—In this paper, we present the analysis and experimental validation of a vision-aided inertial navigation algorithm for planetary landing applications. The system employs...

Abstract— This paper presents the Discrete Search Leading continuous eXploration (DSLX) planner, a multi-resolution approach to motion planning that is suitable for challenging p...
— A modeling method for representing belt object deformation is proposed. Deformation of belt objects such as film circuit boards or flexible circuit boards must be estimated f...
Abstract— Many urban navigation applications (e.g., autonomous navigation, driver assistance systems) can benefit greatly from localization with centimeter accuracy. Yet such ac...
