We present an approach to multi-objective exploration whose goal is to autonomously explore an unknown indoor environment. Our objective is to build a semantic map containing highlevel information, namely rooms and the objects laid in these rooms. This approach was developed for the Panoramic and Active Camera for Object Mapping (PACOM)1 project in order to participate in a French exploration a...

In order to provide users with the function of navigating across different details of level, ranging from overview screen to detailed views, it is necessary to display these representations with different detail levels at a successive and smoothly transformation order, the existing methods for multi-scale visualization are integrated and extended in the paper, and a new method, named as ‘object...

this paper addresses a multi-criteria decision based methodology to develop a road network cost function for route finding analysis in a geographic information system (gis). over the years, several studies relating to route planning process in gis and intelligent transportation systems (its) have been conducted, most of which rely on the use of one-dimensional variables like distance or time as...

Deformable surface models provide a very attractive method for segmenting the three-dimensional shape of complex and various internal organs from volumetric medical images. However, although researchers have succeeded in overcoming some of the limitations of this approach, there still exist several significant unsolved problems. In this paper, we propose a multi-featured multi-scale deformable ...

This paper describes a geometric algorithm for automated design of multi-stage molds for manufacturing multi-material objects. In multi-stage molding process, the desired multimaterial object is produced by carrying out multiple molding operations in a sequence, adding one material in the target object in each mold-stage. We model multi-material objects as an assembly of single-material compone...
