Detecting features in sensor measurements and distinguishing among them is an important
capability for robot localization and navigation. Despite the wide diffusion of range finders …

The welding task in double-hulled structures in shipyards and in steel-frame structures is
hazardous and difficult due to the toxic gas and limited workspace. Therefore, many efforts …

The detection of features from Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data is a fundamental
component of feature-based map** and SLAM systems. Classical approaches are often …

This paper proposes a geometrical feature detection system which is to be used with
conventional 2D laser range finders. It consists of three main modules: data acquisition and …

Robust and highly accurate position estimation in underground mines is investigated by
considering a vehicle equipped with 2D laser scanners. A survey of available methods to …

In mobile robotics, LASER scanners have a wide spectrum of indoor and outdoor
applications, both in structured and unstructured environments, due to their accuracy and …

In this paper, a new integrity risk evaluation method is developed and tested for laser and
