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 ...
Localizing global descriptors for content-based image retrieval
(Springer, 2015)
In this paper, we explore, extend and simplify the localization of the description ability of the well-established MPEG-7
(Scalable Colour Descriptor (SCD), Colour Layout Descriptor (CLD) and Edge Histogram Descriptor ...
What, Where and How? Introducing pose manifolds for industrial object manipulation
(Elsevier, 2015)
In this paper we propose a novel method for object grasping that aims to unify robot vision techniques for 24
efficiently accomplishing the demanding task of autonomous object manipulation. Through ontological 25
concepts, ...
Real-time indexing for large image databases: color and edge directivity descriptor on GPU
(Springer, 2014)
In this paper, we focus on implementing the extraction of a well-known low-level image descriptor using the multicore power provided by general-purpose graphic processing units (GPGPUs). The color and edge directivity ...
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, ...
