This paper deals with an automated preflight aircraft inspection using a pan-tilt-zoom
camera mounted on a mobile robot moving autonomously around the aircraft. The general …

Bayesian Networks are models which capture uncertainties in terms of probabilities that can
be used to perform reasoning under uncertainty. This paper presents an attempt to use …

This paper presents an investigation on the characteristics of Microsoft Kinect depth camera
for door detection in an indoor environment. Autonomous vehicles usually have to rely on …

Crossing a door is usually a necessary action for autonomous patrol of an indoor
surveillance robot. However, it is difficult for a large robot to cross narrow doors. In this …

In this paper, an indoor navigation algorithm is proposed for the purpose of robot
autonomous path planning. Due to the complex situation in indoor environments, it can …

This paper proposes a new method to detect doors using context-based object recognition.
Particularly, in order to improve the efficiency of object recognition, we utilize robotic context …

In this paper, we present a method for the reconstruction of interiors using a set of panoramic
range data in scenes with clutter and occlusion. We specifically deal with the reconstruction …

Improved ranging accuracy is obtained by the development of a novel ultrasonic sensor
ranging algorithm, unlike the conventional ranging algorithm, which considers the …

This paper deals with the inspection of an airplane using a Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera mounted
on a mobile robot moving around the airplane. We present image processing methods for …

Segment-based maps as sub-class of feature-based mapping have been widely applied in
simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) in autonomous mobile robots. In this …
