Terrain detection systems have been developed for a large body of applications. For
instance, a bionic leg prosthesis would have to adapt its behavior as a function of the terrain …

Systems and methods for generating pixel based depth esti mates are disclosed. An image
processing system operating as depth analysis engine generates an estimated depth associ …

We address the problem of 3D object detection from 2D monocular images in autonomous
driving scenarios. We propose to lift the 2D images to 3D representations using learned …

Staircase recognition is of great significance for exoskeleton robot mode switching and
mobile robot foothold calculation, which can improve the overall performance of the robot in …

In this paper, a homography-based approach for determining the ground plane using image
pairs is presented. Our approach is unique in that it uses a Modified Expectation …

Moving camera‐based object tracking method for the intelligent transportation system (ITS)
has drawn increasing attention. The unpredictability of driving environments and noise from …

Ground provides useful and basic information such as traversal regions and location of 3D
objects. The given point cloud may contain a point not only from ground, but also from other …

A fundamental problem in autonomous vehicle navigation is the identification of obstacle
free space in cluttered and unstructured environments. Features such as walls, people …

Visual simultaneous localization and mapping (V-SLAM) based tracking method for moving
cameras has drawn increasing attention. The unpredictability of road conditions and noise …

Shell and tube heat exchangers (STHEs) are critical to energy conversion efficiency of
power plants. Eddy current examination is a way to evaluate working conditions of these …
