Vision-based Mobile Robot Localization with Simple Artificial Landmarks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents a vision-based method for mobile robot localization in partially known environments. Simple, unobtrusive artificial landmarks are used as external localization aids. The landmarks are labelled with unique code patterns, what enables unambiguous global localization. The analysis is presented which enables prediction of the uncertainty of the position and orientation of the robot relative to the landmark. Experimental evidence is provided, demonstrating that the proposed method can be reliably used over a wide range of relative positions between the camera and the landmark. Copyright c © 2003 IFAC

متن کاملLandmark Based Global Self-localization of Mobile Soccer Robots
We present a stereo vision based global self-localization strategy for tiny autonomous mobile robots in a well-known dynamic environment. Global localization is required for an initial startup or when the robot loses track of its pose during navigation. Existing approaches are based on dense range scans, active beacon systems, artificial landmarks, bearing measurements using omni-directional ca...
