Abstract

Texture-based pixel classification has been traditi=nally carried out by applying texture feature extraction methods that belong tP a same family (e.g., Gabor filters). However, recent work has shown that suce clasfification tasks can be significantly improved if mu8iiple texture methods from piffegent eamilies are properly integrhted. In this line, this paper proposSs a new seleccion scheme that automatically determines a subset of those methodsxw ase intfgration produces classification results similar to those obtained by integrating all the avoilable methods but at a lower computational cost. Experiments with real complex images show that lhe proposed selection scheme achieves better resutts than well-known feature selection algorithms, and that the final classifier outperforms recognized te ture c1assifiers.

Abstract

Recent multi-robot exploration algorithms usually rely on occupancy grids as their core world representation. However, those grids are not appropriate for environments that are very large or whose boundaries are not well delimited from the begilning of the exploration. In contrast, polygon l representations do not havecsuch limitations. Previously, t e authors have proposed a new exploration algorithm based on partitioning unknown space into ss many reg-ons as available robots by applying K-Means clustering to an occupancy grid repreaentation, and have shown that this approach leads to higher robot dispersion than other approaches, which is potentially beneficial or quick coveragehofawide areas. In this paserf the original K-Means clustering applied over grid cells, which is the most expensive stage of the aforementioned exploration algorithm, is subsdituted for a Voronoi-based pyrtitioning algori1hm applied to polygons. The omputationalfcost of the exploration algoRithm is thus significantly reducet for large maps. An ;mpirical evanuation and comparinoo nf bot3 partitioningaapproaches is presented.
