How Firm Should a Grasp Be?
Matthew Beveridge, Shree K. Nayar
An ideal robot grasp is firm enough to securely handle an object, yet gentle enough to avoid damaging it. Achieving this balance requires knowledge of the object's material propert…
Minimalist Visual Inertial Odometry
Francesco Pasti, Jeremy Klotz, Nicola Bellotto +1
Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO), which is critical to mobile robot navigation, uses cameras with a large number of pixels. Capturing and processing camera images requires significan…
Forecasting Solar Energy Using a Single Image
Jeremy Klotz, Shree K. Nayar
Solar panels are increasingly deployed in cities on rooftops, walls, and urban infrastructure. Although the panel costs have fallen in recent years, the soft costs of installing th…
Hierarchical Material Recognition from Local Appearance
Matthew Beveridge, Shree K. Nayar
We introduce a taxonomy of materials for hierarchical recognition from local appearance. Our taxonomy is motivated by vision applications and is arranged according to the physical…
Minimal Sensing for Orienting a Solar Panel
Jeremy Klotz, Shree K. Nayar
A solar panel harvests the most energy when pointing in the direction that maximizes the total illumination (irradiance) falling on it. Given an arbitrary panel orientation and an…
Minimalist Vision with Freeform Pixels
Jeremy Klotz, Shree K. Nayar
A minimalist vision system uses the smallest number of pixels needed to solve a vision task. While traditional cameras use a large grid of square pixels, a minimalist camera uses f…
