Paracatadioptric sensors combine a parabolic shaped mirror and a camera inducing an orthographic projection. Such a configuration provides a wide field of view while keeping a s...
Active object tracking, for example, in surveillance tasks, becomes more and more important these days. Besides the tracking algorithms themselves methodologies have to be develop...
Detecting the dominant normal directions to the decision surface is an established technique for feature selection in high dimensional classification problems. Several approaches...
In this paper, we present a generative model for textured motion phenomena, such as falling snow, wavy river and dancing grass, etc. Firstly, we represent an image as a linear sup...
We consider typical manipulation tasks in terms of a service robot framework. Given a task at hand, such as ”Pick up the cup from the dinner table”, we present a number of diff...
