This paper presents a real-time algorithm for acquiring compact three-dimensional maps of
indoor environments, using a mobile robot equipped with range and imaging sensors …

In 1998 we introduced the idea for a project we call the Office of the Future. Our long-term
vision is to provide a better every-day working environment, with high-fidelity scene …

In this paper, we present a new technique for creating photorealistic textured 3D facial
models from photographs. Starting with several pairs of calibrated views of a human subject …

This paper identifies active research topics concerning human machine interfaces for
intelligent machine systems. The paper was compiled by performing a series of literature …

A measurement system for reconstructing the volume of freely-moving objects is proposed.
Previous systems are not taking into consideration for the objects that are not expected to …

The two main challenges offered by Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) are
that of observability and extending state estimation to exploration. This thesis explores and …

The futuristic vision of industrial robotic systems that operate in complex, unstructured and
diverse environments is beginning to become a reality due to the advances in computing …

ABSTRACT A new technique for computing the differential invariants of a surface from 3D
sample points and normals. It is based on a new conformal geometric approach to …

The growing popularization of immersive virtual spaces and simulations has enhanced the
ability to “model” various environments, scenarios, decision-making contexts, and …

We present a new theoretical method and experimental results for direct recovery of the
curvatures, the principal curvature directions, and the surface itself by explicit integration of …
