In this letter, we propose a method for accurately estimating the 6-Degree Of Freedom (DOF)
pose in an urban environment when a High Definition (HD) map is available. An HD map …

An autonomous robot with an omni-vision camera and omni-moving platform is designed to
satisfy the requirement of the Federation of International Robot-soccer Association and …

Node location information is very important to many novel applications of Internet of Things
(IoT). Typically, IoT nodes are resource-constrained, and thus costly and energy-hungry …

Positioning information has become one of the most important information for processing
and displaying on smart mobile devices. In this paper, we propose a visual positioning …

This study aims to develop the intelligent interactive multi-functional robot to provide
companion and entertainment. To obtain the environmental information, we use Kinect …

In this paper, we propose a self-localization method for a soccer robot using an
omnidirectional camera. Based on the projective geometry of the omnidirectional visual …

Photogrammetry is the technique that allows capturing and reconstructing 3D models of
objects and scenes from multiple images. In recent years, with the rising demand for efficient …

This paper presents a novel feature detection algorithm called depth-hybrid speeded-up
robust features (DH-SURF) augmented by depth information in the speeded-up robust …

RGBD sensors are widely used in current robot research as they have the capacities of
measuring geometrical distances and providing dense point clouds. However, it is still a …
