      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      In this paper we present an observability analysis for a mobile robot performing SLAM with a single monocular camera. The aim is to get a better understanding of the well known intuitive behavior of these systems, such as ...

      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      The probabilistic belief networks that result from standard feature-based simultaneous localization and map building cannot be directly used to plan trajectories. The reason is that they produce a sparse graph of landmark ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      The mainstream approach to estimate epipolar geometry from two views requires matching the projections of at least 4 non-coplanar points in the scene, assuming a full projective camera model. Our work deviates from this ...
