Probabilistic Localization by Appearance Models and Active Vision

چکیده
In order to do useful things a mobile robot needs some sort of global information about the environment it is operating in. In this paper an approach is described where the global information is not cast in a model of the geometry of the environment but in a model of all sensory data of the robot. As a primary sensing system we used computer vision. The model gives a probability distribution over the learned locations given an observation. We developed an active vision strategy to increase the performance and tested the method on real image data from our robot.

Vision-Based Localization for Mobile Platforms
In this paper, we describe methods to localize a mobile robot in an indoor environment from visual information. An appearance-based approach is adopted in which the environment is represented by a large set of images from which features are extracted. We extended the appearance based approach with an active vision component, which fits well in our probabilistic framework. We also describe anoth...
متن کاملEffective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot
Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
متن کاملActive Appearance-Based Robot Localization Using Stereo Vision
A vision-based robot localization system must be robust: able to keep track of the position of the robot at any time, even if illumination conditions change and, in the extreme case of a failure, able to efficiently recover the correct position of the robot. With this objective in mind, we enhance the existing appearance-based robot localization framework in two directions by exploiting the use...
متن کاملVisual Based Localization for a Legged Robot
This paper presents a visual based localization mechanism for a legged robot in indoor office environments. Our proposal is a probabilistic approach which uses partially observable Markov decision processes. We use a precompiled topological map where natural landmarks like doors or ceiling lights are recognized by the robot using its on-board camera. Experiments have been conducted using the AI...
