More tinkering with the aim thesis today, with more wordsmithing than anything else …
However, have found some good looking links:
- this link Massimo Bertozzi, Alberto Broggi, and Alessandra Fascioli, VisLab and the Evolution of Vision-Based UGVs, IEEE Computer, 39(12):31-38, December 2006, ISSN: 0018-9162, PDF, doi:10.1109/MC.2006.448, BibTeX. from http://www.ce.unipr.it/people/bertozzi/pap/?PHPSESSID=710006580f5bef5ec3737a38d7de1dac has good history of unmanned vehciles. Look at the snowcat studies
- another good Bertozzi link: Massimo Bertozzi, Alberto Broggi, and Alessandra Fascioli, Vision-based Intelligent Vehicles: state of the art and perspectives, Journal of Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 32(1):1-16, June 2000, PDF, BibTeX. again from http://www.ce.unipr.it/people/bertozzi/pap/?PHPSESSID=710006580f5bef5ec3737a38d7de1dac
- Computer in Dec 2006 http://csdl2.computer.org/persagen/DLAbsToc.jsp?resourcePath=/dl/mags/co/&toc=comp/mags/co/2006/12/rztoc.xml seems to have interesting papers in it

IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine 11. 4 (2004):14-20 paper from http://cis.jhu.edu/people/faculty/vidal-cv.html
- R. Vidal, O. Shakernia, S. Sastry. “Omnidirectional Vision-Based Formation Control“. Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control and Computing (2002):1637-1646 http://www.cis.jhu.edu/%7Ervidal/publications/allerton02-omniformation.pdf from http://cis.jhu.edu/people/faculty/vidal-cv.html shows vision based formations work
- some potentially important search terms:
- vision-based
- unmanned vehicle
- ugv
- these 2 need to be read (found from this websearch: http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=%22unmanned+vehicles%22+%22fixed+topology%22):
