Fractals, Fuzzy Sets And Image Representation
D. R. Dodds · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1988
This paper addresses some uses of fractals, fuzzy sets and image representation as it pertains to robotic grip planning and autonomous vehicle navigation AVN. The robot/vehicle is assumed to be equipped with multimodal sensors including ultrashort pulse imaging laser rangefinder. With a temporal resolution of 50 femtoseconds a time of flight laser rangefinder can resolve distances within approximately half an inch or 1.25 centimeters. (Fujimoto88)
