In addition, it is expensive to obtain the description, especially in data input by human hand. To resolve these problems, we need an efficient and automatic framework for 3D modeling of city scenes. We propose an efficient method with epipolar-plane image analysis to model a 3D city scene along a road from an image sequence recorded by a camera boarded on a vehicle. With the method presented, we detect vertical edges and track the edges in a spatiotemporal solid of images. The locus of the edges gives us the distances from the path of the camera to the objects including the edges, such as buildings as well as their heights. The side of an object will be estimated as a rectangle, of which both sides are two different estimated edges with the same height. Our method is able to obtain both the distance and the height of the objects simultaneously. Therefore, the constructed model is expected to be stable and precise.","PeriodicalId":192359,"journal":{"name":"1999 Third International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information Engineering Systems.

For a path using a B-spline, it is important how to choose some appropriate data points and the corresponding end points. The proposed approach automatically selects their points in a wide range, minimizing or maximizing the total cost function, which consists of several sub-cost functions such as motion smoothness, movable range of joint, singular orientation and falling down. The simulation result shows that our method is effective for the path planning of a robot, which has many boundary conditions and complicated evaluation such as the mobile manipulator considered.","PeriodicalId":192359,"journal":{"name":"1999 Third International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information Engineering Systems.

In most cases, the design of a fuzzy inference system relies on the method in which an expert or a skilled human operator works in that special domain. However, if he has no expert knowledge in any nonlinear environment, it is difficult to control in order to optimize. Thus, the proposed adaptive structure for the fuzzy reasoning system can be controlled more adaptively and more effectively in a nonlinear environment for changing input membership functions and output membership functions. ANFC can be adapted to a proper membership function for nonlinear plants, based on a minimum number of rules and an initial approximate membership function. A rotary inverted pendulum system is simulated to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed ANFC.","PeriodicalId":192359,"journal":{"name":"1999 Third International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information Engineering Systems.
