Many geometric estimation problems take the form of synchronization over the special Euclidean group: estimate the values of a set of poses given noisy measurements of a subset of their pairwise relative transforms. This problem is…
We consider the case in which a robot has to navigate in an unknown environment but does not have enough on-board power or payload to carry a traditional depth sensor (e.g., a 3D lidar) and thus can only acquire a few (point-wise) depth…
In this paper we consider the following sparse recovery problem. We have query access to a vector $\vx \in \R^N$ such that $\vhx = \vF \vx$ is $k$-sparse (or nearly $k$-sparse) for some orthogonal transform $\vF$. The goal is to output an…
