In this paper we propose a new vision based method for robot localization using an omnidirectional camera. The method has three steps efficiently combined to deal with big reference image sets, each step evaluates less images than the previous but is more complex and accurate. Given the current uncalibrated image seen by the robot, the hierarchical algorithm gives the possibility of obtaining a...

5 Abstract—Cloud load balancing is the process of distributing workloads across multiple computing resources in a cloud environment. 6 Load distribution in cloud computing systems is more challenging than in other systems. The purpose of the paper is to address the 7 issue of optimal task dispatching on multiple heterogeneous multiserver systems with dynamic speed and power management. The 8 ma...
