DARP: Divide Areas Algorithm for Optimal Multi-Robot Coverage Path Planning
(Springer, 2017)
This paper deals with the path planning problem of a team of mobile robots, in order to cover an area of interest, with prior-defined obstacles. For the single robot case, also known as single robot coverage path planning ...
A Multi-Objective Exploration Strategy for Mobile Robots Under Operational Constraints
(IEEE, 2013)
Multi-objective robot exploration constitutes one of the most challenging tasks for autonomous robots performing in various operations and different environments. However, the optimal exploration path depends heavily on ...
How Smart Are Smartphones?: Bridging the marketing and information technology gap.
(IEEE, 2014)
The term "smart" has become widespread in consumer electronics in recent years, reflecting the consumers' need for devices that assist them in their daily activities. The term has a long history of usage in marketing science ...
Automatic summarization and annotation of videos with lack of metadata information
(Elsevier, 2013)
The advances in computer and network infrastructure together with the fast evolution of multimedia data has resulted in the growth of attention to the digital video’s development. The scientific community has increased the ...
Remote monitoring of the Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae) population using an automated McPhail trap
(Elsevier, 2017-05)
Remote pest population monitoring is of major importance within the context of precision agriculture. Information acquired from the field has been proved essential for proper decision making and pest management against ...
Content-based image retrieval over IEEE 802.11b noisy wireless networks
(Wiley, 2014)
Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are widely used in everyday life to perform a variety of
operations, such as e-mail exchange, connection to social media, bank/financial transactions, and so on.
Moreover, ...
Vision-Controlled Micro Flying Robots: From System Design to Autonomous Navigation and Mapping in GPS-Denied Environments
(IEEE, 2014)
Autonomous micro helicopters are about to play a major role in tasks like search and rescue, environment monitoring, security surveillance, inspection, etc. If they are further realized in small scale, they can also be ...
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. ...
A LoCATe‐based visual place recognition system for mobile robotics and GPGPUs
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017-05)
In this paper, a novel visual Place Recognition approach is evaluated based on a visual vocabulary of the Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor (CEDD) to address the loop closure detection task. Even though CEDD was initially ...
Image Moment Invariants as Local Features for Content Based Image Retrieval using the Bag-of-Visual-Words Model
(Elsevier, 2015)
This paper presents an image retrieval framework that uses affine image moment invariants as descriptors of local image areas. Detailed feature vectors are generated by feeding the produced moments into a Bag-of-Visual-Words ...
