چکیده

We propose topology-based maps as a new representation of the workspace of a mobile robot. These maps capture the structure of the free space in the environment in terms of the basic topological notions of con-nectivity and adjacency. Topology-based maps can be automatically extracted from an occupancy grid built from sensor data using techniques borrowed from the image processing eld. Since these techniques can be soundly deened on fuzzy values, our approach is well suited to deal with the uncertainty inherent in the sensor data. Topology-based maps are fairly robust with respect to sensor noise and to small environmental changes, and have nice computational properties.

A Practical Approach for Extracting Tree Models in Forest Environments Based on Equirectangular Projections of Terrestrial Laser Scans

Extracting 3D tree models based on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds is a challenging task as trees are complex objects. Current TLS devices acquire high-density data that allow a detailed reconstruction of the tree topology. However, in dense forests a fully automatic reconstruction of trees is often limited by occlusion, wind influences and co-registration issues. In this paper, a...

On the pointfree counterpart of the local definition of classical continuous maps

The familiar classical result that a continuous map from a space $X$ to a space $Y$ can be defined by giving continuous maps $varphi_U: U to Y$ on each member $U$ of an open cover ${mathfrak C}$ of $X$ such that $varphi_Umid U cap V = varphi_V mid U cap V$ for all $U,V in {mathfrak C}$ was recently shown to have an exact analogue in pointfree topology, and the same was done for the familiar cla...

Extracting Topology Preserving Maps Layout from Virtual Coordinates in Wireless Sensor Networks

The main objective of this project is obtaining topology-preserving maps (TPMs) from virtual coordinates (VCs) of wireless sensor networks. Virtual coordinates (VCs) provide an economical alternative to geographical coordinates for routing and self organization of large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This project proposes the TPM from the virtual co-ordinates. In a virtual coordinate sy...

Building gas concentration gridmaps with a mobile robot

This paper addresses the problem of mapping the structure of a gas distribution by creating concentration gridmaps from the data collected by a mobile robot equipped with gas sensors. By contrast to metric gridmaps extracted from sonar or laser range scans, a single measurement from a gas sensor provides information about a comparatively small area. To overcome this problem, a mapping technique...

On topological transitive maps on operator algebras

We consider the transitive linear maps on the operator algebra $B(X)$for a separable Banach space $X$. We show if a bounded linear map is norm transitive on $B(X)$,then it must be hypercyclic with strong operator topology. Also we provide a SOT-transitivelinear map without being hypercyclic in the strong operator topology.
