We use quantum walks to construct a new quantum algorithm for element distinctness and
its generalization. For element distinctness (the problem of finding two equal items among N …

The amount of captured 3D data is continuously increasing, with the democratization of
consumer depth cameras, the development of modern multi‐view stereo capture setups and …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) suffer from bias and measurement noise, which makes it
much more complicated to tackle the problem of inertial odometry (IO). Due to the error …

The height and stagger of the contact wire directly affect the energy supply of high-speed
trains. To ensure the operation safety, there is an urgent demand for high-speed railways to …

Compared with ground views and direct overhead views (for orbital satellites), aerial
robotics allow for capturing videos from diverse viewpoints and scenes, thus, the content of …

Awareness of the environment is essential for mobile robots. Perception for legged robots
requires high levels of reliability and accuracy in order to walk stably in the types of complex …

This article describes an approach for extracting multiple planar regions in 3-D point clouds
from spinning multibeam LiDARs. This technique benefits from the intrinsic structure of …

Plane extraction is regarded as a necessary function that supports judgment basis in many
applications, including semantic digital map reconstruction and path planning for unmanned …

We present a novel region growing algorithm for plane extraction of organized point clouds
using the spherical convex hull. Instead of explicit plane parameterization, our approach …

Deep Learning methods can deploy a fast, robust and lightweight model to solve the
problem of 6-DOF camera relocalization in large-scale outdoor environments. However, two …
