Robust localization of robots and reliable tracking of people are both critical requirements for
the deployment of service robots in real-world environments. In crowded public spaces …

Autonomous indoor service robots use the same passages which are used by people for
navigation to specific areas. These robots are equipped with visual sensors, laser or sonar …

Accurate robot localization and people tracking are necessary for deploying service robots
in crowded everyday environments such as shopping malls, and features like product …

Sensors and cameras enable a computerunderstandable capture of reality. Their data
enables evaluations and predictions in order to better understand reality. According to [1] the …

Nowadays autonomous remote monitoring and control systems are required for the reliable
operation of complex, especially distributed over large areas or inaccessible places …

The paper proposes a distributed control architecture for indoor robot navigation employing
both on board and external computer vision units. A communication protocol for cooperative …

We present a framework to compute the visual hull of a polyhedral scene, in which the
vertices of the polyhedra are given with some imprecision. Two kinds of visual event …

A new method for tracking multiple objects in an intelligent space is proposed in this paper.
The observation model is based on a camera ring statically mounted at the ceiling of the …
