Concurrent Map Building and Localization with Landmark Validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This communication addresses the issue of concurrent map building and localization (CML) for a mobile robot in an unknown environment. The proposed solution extends over previous contributions in that the environment must not be static, nor the landmarks be uniquely identifiable. To this aim we introduce a map model that includes not only the robot and landmark locations in a reference frame, but also a model for landmark quality assessment. Convergence of the map covariance is preserved in the new map model.

Temporal Landmark Validation in CML
Current techniques to concurrent map building and localization (CML) have been devised for static environments, and lack robustness in more realistic situations. In this communication we provide new ideas that extend the typical stochastic estimation approach to CML, to take into account the dynamics of the environment. The basic idea consists on using the history of data association mismatches...
متن کاملConcurrent Map Building and Localization on Indoor Dynamic Environments
A system that builds and maintains a dynamic map for a mobile robot is presented. A learning rule associated to each observed landmark is used to compute its robustness. The position of the robot during map construction is estimated by combining sensor readings, motion commands, and the current map state by means of an Extended Kalman Filter. The combination of landmark strength validation and ...
متن کاملConcurrent matching, localization and map building using invariant features
A common way of localization in robotics is using triangulation on a system composed of a sensor and some landmarks (which can be artificial or natural). First, when no identifying marks are set on the landmarks, their identification by a robust algorithm is a complex problem which may be solved thanks to correspondence graphs. Second, when the localization system has no a priori information ab...
متن کاملAppearance-based concurrent map building and localization
Appearance-based autonomous robot localization has some advantages over landmarkbased localization as, for instance, the simplicity of the processes applied to the sensor readings. The main drawback of appearance-based localization is that it requires a map including images taken at known positions in the environment where the robot is expected to move. In this paper, we describe a concurrent m...
متن کاملBachelor ’ s Thesis
This thesis presents simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm for a small mobile robot. The designed solution enables to determine a mobile robot’s and landmark positions using self-localization and camera based landmark detection. As landmarks, roundel patterns are used that are positioned statically on obstacles or borders of the used arena. One of the key features is the suppression o...
