A Dynamic Swarm for Visual Location Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
The visual localization problem in robotics poses a dynamically changing environment due to the movement of the robot compared to a static image set serving as environmental map. We develop a particle swarm method adapted to this task and apply elements from dynamic optimization research. We show that our algorithm is able to outperform a Particle Filter, which is a standard localization approach in robotics, in a scenario of two visual outdoor datasets, being computationally more effective and delivering a better localization result.

Pareto design of fuzzy tracking control based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm for a walking robot in the lateral plane on slope
Many researchers have controlled and analyzed biped robots that walk in the sagittal plane. Nevertheless, walking robots require the capability to walk merely laterally, when they are faced with the obstacles such as a wall. In walking robot field, both nonlinearity of the dynamic equations and also having a tracking system cause an effective control has to be utilized to address these problems...
متن کاملTracking natural trails with swarm-based visual saliency
This paper proposes a model for trail detection and tracking that builds upon the observation that trails are salient structures in the robot’s visual field. Due to the complexity of natural environments, the straightforward application of bottom-up visual saliency models is not sufficiently robust to predict the location of trails. As for other detection tasks, robustness can be increased by m...
متن کاملMultiple Target Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Sensor Grouping and Hybrid Iterative-Heuristic Optimization
A novel hybrid method for tracking multiple indistinguishable maneuvering targets using a wireless sensor network is introduced in this paper. The problem of tracking the location of targets is formulated as a Maximum Likelihood Estimation. We propose a hybrid optimization method, which consists of an iterative and a heuristic search method, for finding the location of targets simultaneously. T...
متن کاملA swarm-intelligence based algorithm for face tracking
This article presents a new face tracking algorithm that employs a swarm-intelligence based method particle swarm optimisation (PSO). Firstly, all potential solutions are projected into a high-dimensional space where particles are initialised. Then, particles are driven by PSO rules to search for the solutions. The face is tracked when the particles reach convergence. Furthermore, a multi-featu...

Developing optimal flocking control procedure is an essential problem in mobile sensor networks (MSNs). Furthermore, finding the parameters such that the sensors can reach to the target in an appropriate time is an important issue. This paper offers an optimization approach based on metaheuristic methods for flocking control in MSNs to follow a target. We develop a non-differentiable optimizati...
