Using occupancy grids for mobile robot perception and navigation

TL;DR: An approach to robot perception and world modeling that uses a probabilistic tesselated representation of spatial information called the occupancy grid, a multidimensional random field that maintains stochastic estimates of the occupancy state of the cells in a spatial lattice is reviewed.

Construction of correlation functions in two and three dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the construction of simply parametrized covariance functions for data-assimilation applications and provide a self-contained, rigorous mathematical summary of relevant topics from correlation theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of geotechnical variability

TL;DR: In this paper, the three primary sources of geotechnical uncertainties are inherent variability, measurem, and measurem uncertainties, and the three main sources of variability are measurem and inherent variability.

The stochastic finite element method: Past, present and future

TL;DR: A state-of-the-art review of past and recent developments in the SFEM area and indicating future directions as well as some open issues to be examined by the computational mechanics community in the future are provided.

Probabilistic slope stability analysis by finite elements

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the probability of failure of a cohesive slope using both simple and more advanced probabilistic analysis tools, and concluded that simplified probabilism, in which spatial variability is ignored by assuming perfect correlation, can lead to unconservative estimates of the failure probability.
