This paper presents a new, efficient technique for supervised texture segmentation based on a set of specifically designed filters and a multi-level pixel-based classifier. Filter design is carried out by means of a neural network, which is trained to maximize the filters' discrimination power among the texture classes under consideration. Texture features obtained with these filters are then processed by a classification scheme that utilizes multiple evaluation window sizes following a top-down approach, which iteratively refines the resulting segmentation. The proposed technique is compared to previous supervised texture segmenters by using both synthetic compositions and real outdoor textured images.
Most existing approaches to autonomous driving fall into one of two categories: modular pipelines, that build an extensive model of the environment, and imitation learning approaches, that map images directly to contr...

A supervised pixel-based classifier for identifying the presence of a given set of texture patterns of interest in a complex textured image is described. The proposed technique integrates the outcome of multiple texture feature extraction methods belonging to different families. In this way, it yields lower classification rates than previous texture classifiers based on specific families of texture methods. Experimental results with real outdoor images are presented.

This paper presents a new technique for combining multiple texture feature extraction methods in order to classify the pixels of an input image into a set of texture models of interest. The problem of integrating multiple texture methods for classification purposes is cast as a collaborative decision making problem. Each texture method is considered to be an expert that gives an opinion about the membership of every input image pixel to each texture model, along with a conviction about that judgement. A conviction measure based on the Kullback J-divergence between texture models is proposed, along with an arbitration mechanism that combines those convictions by taking into account conflicts that may occur when different experts disagree with a similar strength. The proposed technique is compared to previous pixel-based texture classifiers by using real textured images.

This work presents a new algorithm for determining the trajectory of a mobile robot and, simultaneously, creating a detailed volumetric 3D model of its workspace. The algorithm exclusively utilizes information provided by a single stereo vision system, avoiding thus the use both of more costly laser systems and error-prone odometry. Six-degrees-of-freedom egomotion is directly estimated from images acquired at relatively close positions along the robot's path. Thus, the algorithm can deal with both planar and uneven terrain in a natural way, without requiring extra processing stages or additional orientation sensors. The 3D model is based on an octree that encapsulates clouds of 3D points obtained through stereo vision, which are integrated after each egomotion stage. Every point has three spatial coordinates referred to a single frame, as well as true-color components. The spatial location of those points is continuously improved as new images are acquired and integrated into the model.

This paper proposes a new coordination algorithm for efficiently exploring an unknown environment with a team of mobile robots. The proposed technique subsequently applies a well-known unsupervised clustering algorithm (k-means) in order to fairly divide the remaining unknown space into as many disjoint regions as available robots. Each robot is primarily responsible for exploring its assigned region and can help other robots on its way through. Unknown space is dynamically repartitioned as new areas are discovered by the team, balancing thus the overall workload among team members and naturally leading to greater dispersion over the environment and thus faster broad coverage than with previous greedy-like approaches, which guide robots based on maximum profit strategies that simply trade off between distance to the closest frontiers and amount of unknown cells likely to be discovered from them.
