Overview

JIGSAW is an algorithm that automatically builds spatial information. Given a set of signals, JIGSAW infers the spatial arrangement of the signal sources through analysis of the signals alone. Thus JIGSAW can autonomously build a map of field sensors or merge multiple camera images.

Furthermore, by representing gaze-redirecting actions as a type of signal, JIGSAW can calibrate actions to camera images or spatial maps. This provides a robust foundation for spatial competency in mobile robots and sensor organization problems.
