In this paper, a robust vehicle local position estimation with the help of single camera sensor and GPS is presented. A modified Inverse Perspective Mapping, illuminant Invariant techniques and object detection based approach is used to localize the vehicle in the road. Vehicles current lane, its position from road boundary and other cars are used to define its local position. For this purpose ...

This paper presents a Laplacian-based image filtering method. Using a local noise estimator function in an energy functional minimizing scheme we show that Laplacian that has been known as an edge detection function can be used for noise removal applications. The algorithm can be implemented on a 3x3 window and easily tuned by number of iterations. Image denoising is simplified to the reduction...

We prove identities involving sums of Legendre and Jacobi polynomials. The identities are related to Green’s functions for powers of the invariant Laplacian and to the Minakshisundaram-Pleijel zeta function.

Let G be a simple connected graph. The transmission of any vertex v of a graph G is defined as the sum of distances of a vertex v from all other vertices in a graph G. Then the distance signless Laplacian matrix of G is defined as D^{Q}(G)=D(G)+Tr(G), where D(G) denotes the distance matrix of graphs and Tr(G) is the diagonal matrix of vertex transmissions of G. For a given minimum dominating se...

In this letter, it is argued that the correct counting of microstates is obtained from the very beginning when using Newtonian rather than Laplacian state functions, because the former are intrinsically permutation invariant.

On a conformal manifold with boundary, we construct conformally invariant local boundary conditions B for the conformally invariant power of the Laplacian k , with the property that ( k , B) is formally self-adjoint. These boundary problems are used to construct conformally invariant nonlocal operators on the boundary Σ, generalizing the conformal Dirichlet-to-Robin operator, with principal par...

In this work we propose a generalization of the Heat Kernel Signature (HKS). The HKS is a point signature derived from the heat kernel of the Laplace-Beltrami operator of a surface. In the theory of exterior calculus on a Riemannian manifold, the Laplace-Beltrami operator of a surface is a special case of the Hodge Laplacian which acts on r-forms, i. e. the Hodge Laplacian on 0-forms (functions...

We consider the basilica Julia set of the polynomial P (z) = z − 1 and construct all possible resistance (Dirichlet) forms, and the corresponding Laplacians, for which the topology in the effective resistance metric coincides with the usual topology. Then we concentrate on two particular cases. One is a self-similar harmonic structure, for which the energy renormalization factor is 2, the spect...
