Extraction of Natural Landmarks and Localization using Sonars
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present a new technique for on-line extraction of natural landmarks using ultra sonic sensors mounted on a mobile platform. By storing landmarks' positions in a reference map, we can easily achieve absolute localization in an indoor environment by doing matching between recently collected landmarks and the reference map. The matching procedure also takes advantage of compass readings to increase computational speed and make the performance more robust.

Effects of Moving Landmark’s Speed on Multi-Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Dynamic Environments
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 کاملNatural Landmark-Based Autonomous Navigation using Curvature Scale Space
This paper describes a terrain-aided navigation system that employs points of maximum curvature extracted from laser scan data as primary landmarks. A scale space method is used to extract points of maximum curvature from laser range scans of unmodified outdoor environments. This information is then fused with odometric information to provide localization information for an outdoor vehicle. The...

We investigate the extraction of corresponding anatomical point landmarks in MR and CT images of the human head using 3D di erential operators for the extraction of isocontour curvature extrema. We carried out experiments measuring the sensitivity to noise, the localization accuracy, the false detection rate and the registration accuracy. Based on the experimental results we compare the perform...
