An Efficient Boundary Encoding Scheme which is Optimal in the Rate-Distortion Sense
In this paper, we present a fast and optimal method for the lossy encoding of object boundaries which are given as 8-connect chain codes. We approximate the boundary by a polygon ...

Near-Optimal Mobile Robot Recharging with the Rate-Maximizing Forager
We examine the practical problem of a mobile autonomous robot performing a long-duration survey task, during which it must recharge its batteries periodically. We present a scalabl...
