The majority of visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) approaches consider
feature correspondences as an input to the joint process of estimating the camera pose and …

This paper addresses the problem of motion estimation and 3-D reconstruction through
visual tracking with a single-viewpoint sensor and, in particular, how to generalize tracking …

In this work, we propose a robust and efficient method to build dense 3D maps, using only
the images grabbed by an omnidirectional camera. The map contains exhaustive …

The possibility to jointly deploy aerial and ground robots makes sense in many application
contexts of field robotics. There are indeed several cooperation schemes in which the …

It is important to investigate the influence of life-like agents interacting with a user since
some studies suggest thai life-like agents can" persuade" people, in other words, they have …

The problem of estimating the motion of a robot and simultaneously building a
representation of the environment (known as SLAM: Simultaneous Localisation And …

Vision sensors give mobile robots a relatively cheap means of obtaining rich 3D information
of their environment, but lack the depth information that a laser range finder can provide …

Existing visual servoing techniques which do not need metric information require, on the
other hand, prior knowledge about the object's shape and/or the camera's motion. In this …

Some studies show that a coral implanted on bone tissue is gradually transformed to
become a neoformed bone. In our work, we have, for the first time, determined quantitatively …

Traffic is increasing continuously. Nevertheless the number of traffic fatalities decreased in
the past. One reason for this are the passive safety systems, such as side crash protection or …
