A Probabilistic Approach to Build 2D Line Based Maps from Laser Scans in Indoor Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we consider a mobile robot with a laser range finder. Our goal is to find the best set of lines from the sequence of points given by a laser scan. We propose a probabilistic method to deal with noisy laser scans, in which the noise is not properly modeled using a Gaussian Distribution. An experimental comparison with a very well known method (SMSM), using a mobile robot simulator and a real mobile robot, shows the robustness of the new method. The new method is also fast enough to be used in real time.

A Robust Approach to Build 2D Line Maps From Laser Scans
Mobile robots typically need a map of the environment to perform their tasks. In indoor environments, a 2D geometric map is commonly represented by a set of lines and points. In this work we consider a mobile robot with a laser range finder and the goal is to find the best set of lines from the sequence of points given by a laser scan. We propose a probabilistic method to deal with noisy laser ...
متن کاملLine Maps in Cluttered Environments
This paper uses the smoothing and mapping framework to solve the SLAM problem in indoor environments; focusing on how some key issues such as feature extraction and data association can be handled by applying probabilistic techniques. For feature extraction, an odds ratio approach to find multiple lines from laser scans is proposed, this criterion allows to decide which model must be merged and...
متن کاملRG Mapping: Learning Compact and Structured 2D Line Maps of Indoor Environments
In this paper we present Region and Gateway (RG) mapping, a novel approach to laser-based 2D line mapping of indoor environments. RG mapping is capable of acquiring very compact, structured, and semantically annotated maps. We present and empirically analyze the method based on map acquisition experiments with autonomous mobile robots. The experiments show that RG mapping drastically compresses...
متن کاملRobust Local Localization of a Mobile Robot in Indoor Environments Using Virtual Corners
This paper deals with the problem of finding the movement of a mobile robot given two consecutive laser scans. The proposed method extracts a line map from the sequence of points in each laser scan, using a probabilistic approach, and then computes virtual corners between two lines in the same line map. The movement of the robot is estimated from correspondences of virtual corners between the t...
متن کاملPROBABILISTIC LOCALIZATION AND MAPPING OF MOBILE ROBOTS IN INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS WITH A SINGLE LASER RANGE FINDER Smith Washington Arauco Canchumuni
Undoubtedly, due to the recent advances in robotics, robots are increasingly autonomous. Therefore, for a robot, to have the ability to move within an environment without the assistance of a human being, it is required to have knowledge of the environment and its location within it at the same time. In many robotic applications, it is not possible to have an a priori map of the environment. In ...
