In this paper, we propose an efficient technique to detect changes in the geometry of an urban environment using some images observing its current state. The proposed method can ...
—Pervasive computing technologies can enable very flexible situated collaboration patterns among citizens and, via crowdsourcing, can promote a participatory way of contributing ...
In order to populate virtual cities, it is necessary to specify the behaviour of dynamic entities such as pedestrians or car drivers. Since a complete mental model based on vision...
The goal of this work is to provide a system which can aid in monitoring crowded urban environments, which often contain tight groups of people. In this paper, we consider the pro...

In recent years there has been a growing interest in urban screen applications. While there have been several deployments of these technologies in our urban environments, surprisi...
Abstract. We study through simulation the performance of two MANET routing algorithms in a realistic urban environment. The two algorithms, AODV and AntHocNet, are representative o...

Abstract— We have demonstrated that a properlyequipped mobile robot can easily construct a detailed map of the wireless coverage of an urban environment. The Autonomous Vehicle f...
— A mobile robot operating in an urban environment has to navigate around obstacles and hazards. Though a significant amount of work has been done on detecting obstacles, not mu...
