The transition of visual-odometry technology from research demonstrators to commercial
applications naturally raises the question:“what is the optimal camera for vision-based …

This is an introduction to multicast routing, which is the study of methods for routing from one
source to many destinations, or from many sources to many destinations. Multicast is …

In this paper, we propose SPHORB, a new fast and robust binary feature detector and
descriptor for spherical panoramic images. In contrast to state-of-the-art spherical features …

Keypoint detection and matching is of fundamental importance for many applications in
computer and robot vision. The association of points across different views is problematic …

Equip** mobile robots with an omnidirectional camera is very advantageous in numerous
applications as all information about the surrounding scene is stored in a single image …

In this paper, we present an omnidirectional vision-based method for object detection. We
first adopt the conventional camera approach that uses sliding windows and histogram of …

Perspective cameras are the most popular imaging sensors used in computer vision.
However, many application fields, including automotive, surveillance, and robotics, require …

We introduce a set of distortion adaptive Sobel filters for the direct estimation of
geometrically correct gradients of wide angle images. The definition of the filters is based on …

Fisheye cameras are widely used in visual localization due to the advantage of the wide
field of view. However, the severe distortion in fisheye images lead to feature matching …

This paper presents an omnidirectional vision based solution to detect human beings. We
first go through the conventional sliding window approaches for human detection. Then, we …
