Real-time adaptive multi-robot exploration with application to underwater map construction
(Springer, 2016)
This paper deals with the problem of autonomous exploration of unknown areas using teams of Autonomous X Vehicles (AXVs)—with X standing for Aerial, Underwater or Sea-surface—where the AXVs have to autonomously navigate ...
A Novel Image Retrieval Based on Visual Words Integration of SIFT and SURF
(2016)
With the recent evolution of technology, the number of image archives has increased exponentially. In Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), high-level visual information is represented in the form of low-level features. ...
Localized Global Descriptors for Image Retrieval: An Extensive Evaluation on Adaptations to the Simple Model
(IEEE (Computer Society), 2016)
SIMPLE (Searching Images with MPEG-7 (& MPEG-7-like) Powered Localized dEscriptors) is a model that proposes the reuse of well-established global descriptors by localizing their description mechanism on image patches located ...
A Privacy-by-Design Contextual Suggestion System for Tourism
(MDPI, 2016-05-05)
We focus on personal data generated by the sensors and through the everyday usage of smart devices and take advantage of these data to build a non-invasive contextual suggestion system for tourism. The system, which we ...
