3D perception of an environment is essential for robot navigation. In this paper, we propose a dense stereo matching algorithm that works well with a scene with large depth variation, and can also operate in real-time. Our method assigns weights to pixels in a support window based on intensity gradient analysis and geometric proximity. The selected disparities are refined by intensity gradient ...

Keyword-based linked data information retrieval is an easy choice for general-purpose users, but the implementation of such an approach is a challenge because mere keywords do not hold semantic information. Some studies have incorporated templates in an effort to bridge this gap, but most such approaches have proven ineffective because of inefficient template management. Because linked data can...

The purpose of this paper is to analyse Croatia's potential to integrate the concept of polycentric development – an even development of equally spaced urban centres which also aims at lessening regional disparities – into its regional development policy. By applying the polycentricity index to the Croatian data, following Meijers and Sandberg's methodological approach (2006), Croatia is found ...

Introduction . Keywords, reflecting the main content of article, play an extremely important role in search for scientific papers databases. Together with title and abstract, keywords provide primary information about study. Selecting extracting effective is a time-consuming process, so its optimization requires further studying. Purpose. The article aimed at acquainting authors journal methods...

Numerous Federal initiatives are addressing health and health care disparities. The ultimate goal is to achieve “a nation free of disparities in health and health care.” Social determinants of health remain mostly responsible for health/health care disparities among population groups within and between countries. In the United States, there is little evidence that disparities associated with su...
