Seeking reliable correspondences between two feature sets is a fundamental and important
task in computer vision. This paper attempts to remove mismatches from given putative …

Insect navigation is strikingly geometric. Many species use path integration to maintain an
accurate estimate of their distance and direction (a vector) to their nest and can store the …

Navigation is an essential capability for autonomous robots. In particular, visual navigation
has been a major research topic in robotics because cameras are lightweight, power …

Feature matching, which refers to establishing reliable correspondence between two sets of
features, is a critical prerequisite in a wide spectrum of vision-based tasks. Existing attempts …

A comprehensive introduction to new approaches in artificial intelligence and robotics that
are inspired by self-organizing biological processes and structures. New approaches to …

The three-volume work Perceiving in Depth is a sequel to Binocular Vision and Stereopsis
and to Seeing in Depth, both by Ian P. Howard and Brian J. Rogers. This work is much …

This paper solves the problem of nonrigid point set registration by designing a robust
transformation learning scheme. The principle is to iteratively establish point …

Definition μMist® is a liquid spray and atomization system inspired by a method that is used
as a defense mechanism by several types of bombardier beetle. The liquid atomization …

In this paper we propose a model of visually guided route navigation in ants that captures
the known properties of real behaviour whilst retaining mechanistic simplicity and thus …

In many animals the ability to navigate over long distances is an important prerequisite for
foraging. For example, it is widely accepted that desert ants and honey bees, but also …
