Robust Tracking for Real-Time Dense RGB-D Mapping with Kintinuous
(2012-09-17)
This paper describes extensions to the Kintinuous algorithm for spatially extended KinectFusion, incorporating the following additions: (i) the integration of multiple 6DOF camera odometry estimation methods for robust ...
Aeolus Reference Manual
(2012-09-14)
This document describes the interface that the Aeolus information flow platform provides for users who are implementing applications using Java. The document explains how the Aeolus features are made available by means of ...
A Benchmark of Computational Models of Saliency to Predict Human Fixations
(2012-01-13)
Many computational models of visual attention have been created from a wide variety of different approaches to predict where people look in images. Each model is usually introduced by demonstrating performances on new ...
Toward a Probabilistic Approach to Acquiring Information from Human Partners Using Language
(2012-01-23)
Our goal is to build robots that can robustly interact with humans using natural language. This problem is extremely challenging because human language is filled with ambiguity, and furthermore, the robot's model of the ...
Epistemic Implementation and The Arbitrary-Belief Auction
(2012-06-22)
In settings of incomplete information we put forward an epistemic framework for designing mechanisms that successfully leverage the players' arbitrary higher-order beliefs, even when such beliefs are totally wrong, and ...
Patch complexity, finite pixel correlations and optimal denoising
(2012-10-07)
Image restoration tasks are ill-posed problems, typically solved withpriors. Since the optimal prior is the exact unknown density of natural images,actual priors are only approximate and typically restricted to small ...
Optimal Parametric Auctions
(2012-06-14)
We study the problem of an auctioneer who wants to maximize her profits. In our model, there are n buyers with private valuations drawn from independent distributions F_1,...,F_n. When these distributions are known to the ...
Integrated Robot Task and Motion Planning in the Now
(2012-06-29)
This paper provides an approach to integrating geometric motion planning with logical task planning for long-horizon tasks in domains with many objects. We propose a tight integration between the logical and geometric ...
Kintinuous: Spatially Extended KinectFusion
(2012-07-19)
In this paper we present an extension to the KinectFusion algorithm that permits dense mesh-based mapping of extended scale environments in real-time. This is achieved through (i) altering the original algorithm such that ...
Throwing Down the Visual Intelligence Gauntlet
(2012)
In recent years, scientific and technological advances have produced artificial systems that have matched or surpassed human capabilities in narrow domains such as face detection and optical character recognition. However, ...
