Vision-based Mobile Robot Localization And Mapping using Scale-Invariant Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
A key component of a mobile robot system is the ability to localize itself accurately and build a map of the environment simultaneously. In this paper, a vision-based mobile robot localization and mapping algorithm is described which uses scale-invariant image features as landmarks in unmodified dynamic environments. These 3D landmarks are localized and robot ego-motion is estimated by matching them, taking into account the feature viewpoint variation. With our Triclops stereo vision system, experiments show that these features are robustly matched between views, 3D landmarks are tracked, robot pose is estimated and a 3D map is built.

Map-merging in Multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Process Using Two Heterogeneous Ground Robots
In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...

The Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) has become a popular feature extractor for vision-based applications. It has been successfully applied to metric localization and mapping using stereo vision and omnivision. In this paper, we present an approach to Monte-Carlo localization using SIFT features for mobile robots equipped with a single perspective camera. First, we acquire a 2D grid map...

متن کاملLocalization of mobile robots with omnidirectional vision using Particle Filter and iterative SIFT
The Scale Invariant Feature Transform, SIFT, has been successfully applied to robot localization. Still, the number of features extracted with this approach is immense, especially when dealing with omnidirectional vision. In this work, we propose a new approach that reduces the number of features generated by SIFT as well as their extraction and matching time. With the help of a particle filter...

This paper presents the novel Rao-Blackwellised particle filter (RBPF) for mobile robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) using monocular vision. The particle filter is combined with unscented Kalman filter (UKF) to extending the path posterior by sampling new poses that integrate the current observation which drastically reduces the uncertainty about the robot pose. The landmark pos...
