Research¶
How Did I Get Here (A Short Story): I have a BSc degree in Electronics from Mazandaran University (Iran, 2010), for which A. Jaloo and I delivered a thesis project on Implementation of Soft-Viterbi Decoder on FPGA (VHDl) under the supervision of Dr. M. Zahabi. My Msc degree is in Robotics from École centrale de Nantes (France, 2012), the research for the thesis project (Object Recognition From 3D Points Cloud) was carried out under the supervision of Dr. P. Lucidarme as a part of Cart-O-Matic team in Angers, France. I joined Cart-O-Matic in its last year of competing in the French robotics contest Défi CAROTTE, organized by the General Delegation for Armaments (Direction Générale de l’Armement, DGA) and French National Research Agency (l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche, ANR). In 2012, I joined the School of Information Technology at Halmstad University, Sweden, as a PhD candidate and finished my PhD (defense in June 2018) with the Center for Applied Intelligent Systems Research (CAISR). Through my PhD, I have been partly involved in the Automatic Inventory and Mapping of Stock project (AIMS, video). My licentiate dissertation, titled Semantic Mapping in Warehouses, was a part of AIMS project. For my PhD thesis, I worked on Interpretation and Alignment of 2D Indoor Maps, which encompassed topics in computer vision, machine learning and robot mapping.
PhD Dissertation¶
Some parts of my PhD research (Interpretation and Alignment of 2D Indoor Maps: Towards a Heterogeneous Map Representation) are accessible through these repositories:
Nonrigid Optimization of 2D Map Alignment¶
2D Map Alignment¶
Repository (with region decomposition)
Halmstad Maps¶
Repository: A repository of 40 maps of 4 different environments. 36 sensor maps are collected with a Google Tango Tablet, and 4 layout maps are hand drawn.
Arrangement¶
Repository: A 2D plane partitioning algorithm.
Semi-Supervised Place Categorization¶
