Three-dimensional (3-D) models of outdoor scenes can be widely used in a number of fields such as object recognition, navigation, scenic simulation, and mixed reality. Such models are often made manually with high costs, ...

This paper describes a 3D modeling method for wide outdoor environments by integrating stop-and-go and continuous scanning of laser rangefinder. First, range images of an outdoor scene are measured by stop-and-go scanning ...

This paper describes a method for modeling wide area outdoor environments by integrating omnidirectional range and color images. The proposed method effectively reconstructs the 3D models of outdoor environments by using ...

Automatically reconstructing a 3D shape model of a nonrigid object using a sequence from a single commodity RGB-D sensor is a challenging problem. Some techniques use a 3D shape template of a target object; however, in ...

Links are an essential feature of the World Wide Web, and source code repositories are no exception. However, despite their many undisputed benefits, links can suffer from decay, insufficient versioning, and lack of ...

In search and rescue (SAR) operation, the potential of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) gathers great attention. Existing studies have made various experiments to find victims by a UAVs with a single sensor, e.g., one of ...

Vast numbers of free/open source software (F/OSS) development projects use hosting sites such as Java.net and Source-Forge.net. These sites provide each project with a variety of software repositories (e.g. repositories ...

This paper presents an acoustic compensation method in body-conducted speech conversion that automatically compensates for acoustic differences caused by changes in recording conditions. An enhancement process for bodyconducted ...

In this paper we present a novel approach to acoustic model training for non-audible murmur (NAM) recognition using normal speech data transformed into NAM data. NAM is extremely soft murmur, that is so quiet that people ...
