A Probabilistic Observation Model for Stereo Vision Systems: Application to Particle Filter-Based Mapping and Localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a probabilistic observation model for stereo vision systems which avoids explicit data association between observations and the map by marginalizing the observation likelihood over all the possible associations. We define observations as sets of landmarks composed of their 3D locations, assumed to be normally distributed, and their SIFT descriptors. Our model has been integrated into a particle filter to test its performance in map building and global localization, as illustrated by experiments with a real robot.

Stereo vision specific models for particle filter-based SLAM
This work addresses the SLAM problem for stereo vision systems under the unified formulation of particle filter methods. In contrast to most existing approaches to visual SLAM, the present method does not rely on restrictive smooth camera motion models, but on computing incremental 6D pose differences from the image flow through a probabilistic visual odometry method. Moreover, our observation ...
متن کاملFastSLAM with Stereo Vision
We consider the problem of performing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with a stereo vision sensor, where image features are matched and triangulated for use as landmarks. We explain how we obtain landmark measurements from image features, and describe them with a Gaussian noise model for use with a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter-based SLAM algorithm called FastSLAM. This algorit...
متن کاملVision-based SLAM using the Rao-Blackwellised Particle Filter
We consider the problem of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) from a Bayesian point of view using the Rao-Blackwellised Particle Filter (RBPF). We focus on the class of indoor mobile robots equipped with only a stereo vision sensor. Our goal is to construct dense metric maps of natural 3D point landmarks for large cyclic environments in the absence of accurate landmark position measur...
متن کاملScalable real-time vision-based SLAM for planetary rovers
Simultaneous localization and mapping is an important problem for autonomous planetary rovers and other space vehicles. While many authors have addressed the SLAM problem, few have done so in the context of producing largescale maps in real time using vision. This paper is concerned primarily with the issues presented by the large numbers of candidate features obtained from vision sensors, and ...
متن کاملOutdoor Localization Using Stereo Vision Under Various Illumination Conditions
We present a mobile robot localization method using a stereo camera only. Vision-based localization in outdoor environments is still challenging issue because of large illumination changes. To cope with varying illumination conditions, we use 2D occupancy grid maps generated from 3D point clouds obtained by a stereo camera. Furthermore, we incorporate salient line segments extracted from the gr...
