We demonstrate a new method for extracting high-level scene information from the type of data available from simultaneous localisation and mapping systems. We model the scene with a collection of primitives (such as bounded planes), and make explicit use of both visible and occluded points in order to refine the model. Since our formulation allows for different kinds of primitives and an arbitr...

In this paper we consider the problem of creating a two dimensional spatial representation of gas distribution with a mobile robot. In contrast to previous approaches to the problem of gas distribution mapping (GDM) we do not assume that the robot has perfect knowledge about its position. Instead we develop a probabilistic framework for simultaneous localisation and occupancy and gas distributi...

In this note we study the problem of simultaneous stabilization for the algebra AR(D). Invertible pairs (fj , gj), j = 1, . . . , n, in a commutative unital algebra are called simultaneously stabilizable if there exists a pair (α, β) of elements such that αfj + βgj is invertible in this algebra for j = 1, . . . , n. For n = 2, the simultaneous stabilization problem admits a positive solution fo...

the index of matrix a in cn.n is equivalent to the dimension of largest jor-dan block corresponding to the zero eigenvalue of a. in this paper, indicialequations and normal equations for solving inconsistent singular linear systemof equations are investigated.

Event history data provide a longitudinal record of the timing of events such as partnership formation and dissolution, births, and changes in employment and housing. Typically outcomes of one process will influence the occurrence of events in another process. For example the presence of children, who constitute prior outcomes of the fertility process, is often found to be negatively associated...

This paper presents research on the development of multiagent systems (MAS) for integrated and performance driven architectural design. It presents the development of a simulation framework that bridges architecture and engineering, through a series of multi-agent based experiments. The research is motivated to combine multiple design agencies into a system for managing and optimizing architect...

The objective of this paper is to develop the method for selection of the optimal structure of simultaneous equation system from the given model set in the condition of the limited sample of observations. The identification purpose is the model selection with the best predictive possibility. The information criteria for selecting the best model of nonlinear simultaneous equation system from the...

The paper describes two iterative algorithms for solving general systems of M simultaneous linear algebraic equations (SLAE) with real matrices of coefficients. The system can be determined, underdetermined, and overdetermined. Linearly dependent equations are also allowed. Both algorithms use the method of Lagrange multipliers to transform the original SLAE into a positively determined functio...

We estimate food waste at the individual household level indirectly using a stochastic production frontier approach. The estimated average percentage of waste is 32.4%. However, by taking proxied physical activities into consideration and utilizing limited information maximum likelihood estimation, our estimate for average household food waste is reduced to 27.6%. We are also able to explore th...

In this paper, given the early-time response and the low-frequency response of a causal system, we simultaneously extrapolate them in the time and frequency domains. The approach is iterative and is based on a simple discrete Fourier transform. Simultaneous extrapolation in time and frequency domains is further enhanced by using the matrix pencil technique in the time domain and the Cauchy meth...
