Closing the Loop: Heuristics for Autonomous Discovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous discovery systems will be able to peruse very large databases more thoroughly than people can. In a companion paper [1], we describe a general framework for autonomous systems. We present and evaluate heuristics for use in this framework. Although these heuristics were designed for a prototype system, we believe they provide good initial solutions to problems encountered when implementing fully autonomous discovery systems. As such, these heuristics may be used as the starting point for future research into fully autonomous discovery systems.

Closing the Loop: An Agenda- and Justification-Based Framework for Selecting the Next Discovery Task to Perform
We propose and evaluate an agendaand justificationbased architecture for discovery systems that contains a mechanism for selecting the next task to perform. This framework has many desirable properties: (1) its use of heuristics to perform and propose tasks facilitates the use of general discovery strategies that are able to use a variety of background knowledge, (2) through the use of justific...
متن کاملClosing the loop in appearance-guided omnidirectional visual odometry by using vocabulary trees
In this paper, we present a method that allows us to recover the trajectory of a vehicle purely from monocular omnidirectional images very accurately. The method uses a combination of appearance-guided structure from motion and loop closing. The appearance-guided monocular structure-from-motion scheme is used for initial motion estimation. Appearance information is used to correct the rotation ...
متن کاملAn Active Visual Loop Closure Detection and Validation System for Topological SLAM
Loop closing is a vital component for mobile robot navigation without a priori information of the environment, since the mobile robot has to explore, build and at the same time maintain a globally consistent map. Moreover, it allows the mobile robot to recover from positional drifts due to errors associated with sensor measurements once loop closing is performed. In this paper, an active loop c...
متن کاملSparse optimization for robust and efficient loop closing
It is essential for a robot to be able to detect revisits or loop closures for long-term visual navigation. A key insight explored in this work is that the loop-closing event inherently occurs sparsely, i.e., the image currently being taken matches with only a small subset (if any) of previous images. Based on this observation, we formulate the problem of loop-closure detection as a sparse, con...
متن کاملHybrid Simultaneous Localization and Map Building: Closing the Loop with Multi-Hypotheses Tracking
In this paper simultaneous localization and map building is performed with a hybrid, metric topological, approach. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing a compact environment model, which does not require global metric consistency and permits both precision and robustness. However, the most important innovation of the approach is the way how loops in the environment are ...
