Representation

Effective representations of the environment lie at the heart of the perception challenge. The partners are recognised innovators in the development of sensor-derived representations for autonomous agents. Research on representations will focus on:

• Efficient modelling and manipulation of parametric environment models;
• the use of tessellation and compression methods, especially wavelet models, in describing and understanding complex outdoor scenes and
• integrated representations of non-geometric properties such as texture, colour and dynamic object descriptions.

Research in representation will be led by Steve Scheding.
