Robot Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Dynamic Environments
, 2012 This paper focuses on the problem of moving object detection (MOD) in robot visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) system. A MOD algorithm is designed using the spatial geometric constraint of the stationary landmarks in the environment ...

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high? Although specializing as part of a collective comes with economic and functional benefits, states must bargain over the distribution of those gains and ensure the costs of collective action are minimized.

Climate crisis and policy inaction in Indonesia
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract We surveyed voters and politicians in advance of the 2024 Indonesian election to measure preferences for environmental policy. We find that politicians underestimate voter concerns. We conducted an informational experiment with politicians to correct these misperceptions, and we document evidence of learning but no greater support for policy ...

Accurate and Efficient LiDAR SLAM by Learning Unified Neural Descriptors
IEEE AccessPoint clouds generated by LiDAR sensors have been widely exploited in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). However, existing LiDAR SLAM approaches based on hand-crafted features easily suffer from being either overly sparse or dense, causing low-

Evaluation of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) Algorithms
, 2021 Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a core component for the successful implementation of most autonomous robotics systems such as unmanned ground and areal vehicles and industrial mobile robots. It is crucial to have a robust localization and mapping system if the robot’s navigation depends on it while navigating through an unknown ...

The nation‐state, non‐Western empires, and the politics of cultural difference
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract While empires have been central to political theory, they almost always refer to Western forms of imperialism and colonialism to which non‐Western societies are subject. But precolonial empires have ruled much of the world for much of known history. Building on recent International Relations (IR) scholarship, this article reconstructs an ideal

IEEE AccessTraditional simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) methodologies predominantly rely on the assumption of a static environment. This constraint limits the applicability of most visual SLAM systems in various real-world scenarios.
