Mobile robot self-localization based on global visual appearance features
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 correctly determines the localization of 82.9% of the input scene images.

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 کاملMobile Robot Localization via Machine Learning
An appearance-based robot self-localization problem is considered in the machine learning framework. The appearance space is composed of all possible images, which can be captured by a robot’s visual system under all robot localizations. Using recent manifold learning and deep learning techniques, we propose a new geometrically motivated solution based on training data consisting of a finite se...
متن کاملEstimation of Relative Self-Localization for Indoor Mobile Robot and Its Error Analysis
The self-localization for a mobile robot is very important at indoor environments. In this paper, we propose a relative self-localization estimation algorithm based on relative locations and orientation changes of image features. We also analyze errors caused by a variety of factors to estimate the relative self-localization of a mobile robot and discuss a few techniques to remove them. The pro...
متن کاملObservation strategy for decision making based on information criterion
Self localization seems necessary for mobile robot navigation. The conventional method such as geometric reconstruction from landmark observations is generally time-consuming and prone to errors. This paper proposes a method which constructs a decision tree and prediction trees of the landmark appearance that enable a mobile robot with a limited visual angle to observe efficiently and make deci...
متن کاملA Comparison of Efficient Global Image Features for Localizing Small Mobile Robots
Global image features are well-suited for the visual self-localization of mobile robots. They are fast to compute, to compare and do not require much storage space. Especially when using small mobile robots with limited processing capabilities and low-resolution cameras, global features can be preferred to local features. In this paper, we compare the accuracy and computation times of different...
