This study explores the non-parametric estimation of a shape boundary from noisy points in 2D when the sensor characteristics are known. As the underlying shape information is not known, the offered algorithm estimates points on the shape boundary by using the statistics of the subsets of point cloud data. The novel approach proposed in this paper is able to find corner points in a local geometry...
The group of rotations in three dimensions SO(3) plays a crucial role in applications ranging from robotics and aeronautics to computer graphics. Rotations have three degrees of freedom, but representing rotations is a nontrivial matter and different methods, such as Euler angles, quaternions, rotation matrices, and Rodrigues vectors are commonly used. Unfortunately, none of these representations...
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for tracking mobile devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or smartglasses) in a known environment for augmented reality applications. For this purpose, we interpret the environment as an extended object with a known shape, and design likelihoods for different types of image features, using association models from extended object tracking. Based on these likelihoods,...
We consider the task of recursively estimating the pose and shape parameters of 3D objects based on noisy point cloud measurements from their surface. We focus on objects whose surface can be constructed by transforming a plane curve, such as a cylinder that is constructed by extruding a circle. However, designing estimators for such objects is challenging, as the straightforward distance-minimizing...
We consider the problem of clustering set-valued observations, i.e., each observation is a set that consists of a finite number of real vectors. For this purpose, we develop a k-means algorithm that employs the OSPA distance for measuring the distance between sets. In particular, we introduce a novel alternating optimization algorithm for the OSPA barycenter of sets with varying cardinalities that...
