In some model-based vision tasks, such as automatic inspection of industrial parts, a set of viewpoints must be planned for sampling all features of interest around the object. This paper presents the techniques of deciding the optimal viewpoint distribution and a shortest path through these viewpoints, which are achieved by genetic algorithm and Christofides algorithm respectively.

This paper investigates the problem of autonomous mobile robot navigation in bush environments. Such environments form part of the workspace of a number of groups, such as rural search-and-rescue and bush fire-fighting crews, who could greatly benefit from helper robots. In particular, given the existence of many tracks through bush areas, the ability to autonomously drive along such tracks wou...

We present an algorithm to solve the sensor planning problem for a trinocular, active vision system. This algorithm uses an iterative optimization method to rst solve for the translation between the three cameras and then uses this result to solve for parameters such as pan, tilt angles of the cameras and zoom set-

Prelude: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) cause injuries, disabilities, and fatalities are the major health issues globally in developing countries also India. The 29km stretch of NH-55(old NH-42) between Tata steel LTD, Meramundali to Angul has turned into a death trap for is alarming highly prone RTAs after development many large-scale industries townships, which needs planning formulations.&#x0...
