Environmental Map Generation and Egomotion Dynamic Environment for an Omnidirectional Image Sensor
نویسنده
چکیده
Generation of a stationary environmental map i s one of the important tasks for vision based robot navigation. Under the assumption of known motion of a robot, environmental maps of a real scene can be successfilly generated by monitoring azimuth changes in a n image. Several researchers have used this property for robot navagation However, it i s difficult to observe the exact motion parameters of the robot because of encoder measurement error of the robot. Therefore, observational errors in the generated environmental map accumulate in long movements of the robot. To generate a large environmental map, i t i s desirable not t o assume known robot motion. In this paper, under the assumption of unknown translational motions of the robot, we propose a method to generate a stationary environmental map and estimate the egomotion of a robot in a dynamic environment, by using a n omnidirectional image sensor. Since both robot and objects move in the environment, the stationary map generation and the robot egomotion estimation by using a single camera are dificult because of correspondence ambiguity caused by occlusion. The proposed method can detect a moving object and find occlusion and mismatching by evaluating the estimation error of each object location.

We did several experiments in the simple indoor environment to examine the potential of COPIS against effects ...
متن کاملA reliable feature matching method in omnidirectional views for autonomous map generation of a mobile robot
This paper deals with a matching problem of finding correspondences of features in two omnidirectional images. The proposed method combines the advantages of correlation-based matching and dynamic programming to yield reliable matching results. Our method works well even when some features in one image don’t have corresponding features in the other. The search space of the dynamic programming c...

متن کاملInsect-Inspired Estimation of Egomotion
Tangential neurons in the fly brain are sensitive to the typical optic flow patterns generated during egomotion. In this study, we examine whether a simplified linear model based on the organization principles in tangential neurons can be used to estimate egomotion from the optic flow. We present a theory for the construction of an estimator consisting of a linear combination of optic flow vect...
متن کاملReal-Time Estimation of Fast Egomotion with Feature Classification Using Compound Omnidirectional Vision Sensor
For fast egomotion of a camera, computing feature correspondence and motion parameters by global search becomes highly timeconsuming. Therefore, the complexity of the estimation needs to be reduced for real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a compound omnidirectional vision sensor and an algorithm for estimating its fast egomotion. The proposed sensor has both multi-baselines and a l...
