In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...

In this work a model to estimate the efficiency of natural ventilation in a commercial twin-span greenhouse is presented. A numerical simulation approach was adopted using the theory of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD). With this approach, it was able to generate three-dimensional patterns for temperature and airspeed inside the greenhouse, using specific boundary conditions...

in this paper the problem of 3d scene and object classification from depth data is addressed. in contrast to high-dimensional feature-based representation, the depth data is described in a low dimensional space. in order to remedy the curse of dimensionality problem, the depth data is described by a sparse model over a learned dictionary. exploiting the algorithmic information theory, a new def...

three dimensional- high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC) is the expanded version of the latest video compression standard, namely high efficiency video coding (HEVC), which is used to compress 3D videos. 3D videos include texture video and depth map. Since the statistical characteristics of depth maps are different from those of texture videos, new tools have been added to the HEVC standard fo...

A doubled-haploid (DH) population from an intervarietal cross between the Japanese cultivar 'Fukuho-komugi' and the Israeli wheat line 'Oligoculm' was produced by means of wheat x maize crosses. One hundred seven DH lines were genotyped to construct a simple sequence repeat (SSR) based linkage map with RFLP, RAPD, and inter-simple sequence repeat markers. Out of 570 loci genotyped, 330 were cho...
