Robot localization method based on visual features and their geometric relationship
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel method to recognize current location of a mobile robot from input stereo images with visual and geometric features. We extract structural planes from 3D depth data by using SLIC (Simple Linear Iterative Clustering) based superpixel and RANSAC algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed method using visual features and their geometric relationship provides better performance in robot localization.

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...
متن کاملUsing Visual Feature and Geometric Constraints for Robot Localization
This paper presents a novel method to generate an index word for the topological map in robot localization. Previous studies extract only appearance features from an input image to match the visual words of the model images. However, the localization performance is much affected by the miss or false matches. First, we segment a robot navigation environment into the structural planes using 3D de...

Even when simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solutions have been broadly developed, the vast majority of them relate to a single robot performing measurements in static environments. Researches show that the performance of SLAM algorithms deteriorates under dynamic environments. In this paper, a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) system is implemented within a...
متن کاملMobile robot self-localization based on global visual appearance features
This paper presents a novel method for mobile robot localization using visual appearance features. A multidimensional-histogram is used to describe the global appearance features of an image such as colors, edge density, gradient magnitude, textures and so on. The matching of histograms determines the location of the robot. The method has been evaluated in an indoor environment, and the system ...
متن کاملUsing visual features to build topological maps of indoor environments
This paper addresses the problem of localization and map construction by a mobile robot in an indoor environment. Instead of trying to build high-fidelity geometric maps, we focus on constructing topological maps as they are less sensitive to poor odometry estimates and position errors. We propose a method for incrementally building topological maps for a robot which uses a panoramic camera to ...
