In this paper, we propose a novel ICP variant that uses a histogram in conjunction with multiple closest points to detect the overlap area between range images geing registered. Tentative correspondences sharing similar distances are normally all within, or all outside, the overlap area. Thus, the overlap area can be detected in a bin by bin batch manner using a histogram. Using multiple closes...

Traffic is the chief puzzle problem which every country faces because of the enhancement in number of vehicles throughout the world, especially in large urban towns. Hence the need arises for simulating and optimizing traffic control algorithms to better accommodate this increasing demand. Fuzzy optimization deals with finding the values of input parameters of a complex simulated system which r...

Introduction: Automatic detection of blood components is an important topic in the fi eld of hematology. Segmentation is an important step because it allows components to be grouped into common areas and processed separately. This paper proposes a method for the automatic segmentation and classifi cation of blood components in microscopic images using a general and automatic fuzzy approach. Met...

An expert system for distribution planning is proposed in this paper. Choosing a best location of a distribution substation and grouping the various load points to be fed from a particular distribution substation has always been a concern to the distribution planners. Here in this paper the authors present a hybridization of K-means clustering method with fuzzy context aware decision algorithm ...

In this work the novel teleoperation of real mobile robot is presented. In order to cope with the issue of random time delay which makes system unstable, Fuzzy logic approach has been used to design a stable controller to teleoperate AutoMerlin mobile robot. The fuzzy controller has been designed in such a way that it takes two inputs to give one output. First input is generated by human operat...

Consider observation data, comprised of n observation vectors with values on a set of attributes. This gives us n points in attribute space. Having data structured as a tree, implied by having our observations embedded in an ultrametric topology, offers great advantage for proximity searching. If we have preprocessed data through such an embedding, then an observation’s nearest neighbor is foun...

Nowadays modern cars integrate advanced driving assistance systems which range up to fully automated driving modes. Since fully automated driving modes have not come into everyday practice yet, operators are currently making use of assistance systems. While still being in control of the vehicle, alerts signal possible collision dangers when, for example, parking. The reason for the necessity of...

Geometric Near-neighbor Access Tree (GNAT) is a metric space indexing method based on hierarchical hyperplane partitioning of the space. While GNAT is very efficient in proximity searching, it has a bad reputation of being a memory hog. We show that this is partially based on too coarse analysis, and that the memory requirements can be lowered while at the same time improving the search efficie...

We use household survey data from the UK to study how close ‘middle-aged’ men and women in partnerships live to their own parents and their partner’s parents. We find a slight tendency for couples to live closer to the woman’s parents than the man’s. This tendency is more pronounced among couples in which neither partner has a degree and in which there is a child. In other respects, proximity t...
