Cluster computing for robotics and computer vision

Cluster computing for robotics and computer vision / Damian M. Lyons.

In this book, we look at how cluster technology can be leveraged to build better robots. Algorithms and approaches in key areas of robotics and computer vision, such as map building, target tracking, action selection and landmark learning, are reviewed and cluster implementations for these are prese...
