This paper presents a novel implementation of the “Local Binary Pattern” (LBP) texture analysis operator on a consumer-grade graphical processing unit (GPU), which yields a 14 to 18-fold run time reduction compared to standard CPU implementations. Expand

We give the analytical definitions of the Chernoff, Bhattacharyya and Jeffreys-Matusita probabilistic distances between two Dirichlet distributions and two Beta distributions as its special case. Expand

We show that this strategy increases the range of a vision-based traversability estimation system compared to a pure plane-fitting approach. Expand

We present a modular and manual hardware/software co-design, with its implementation on a Xilinx XUP-Virtex II Pro board co- design to solve these issues. Expand

Sequential consistency is a multiprocessor memory model of both practical and theoretical importance. Expand

A highly flexible framework for visualization and sensor simulation in three-dimensional environments is presented. Expand

We present a prototype system that takes a step into this direction. Expand

This paper describes an approach that aims at answering some of these design choices. Expand

The development of service robots that are able to assist humans during their everyday tasks has become a popular research area over the last few years. Expand
