Towards Egocentric Way-Finding Appliances Supporting Navigation in Unfamiliar Terrain
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we discuss foundations, requirements and first experiences with a mobile information system that supports, and is ecologically compatible with, human vision-based navigation and acquirement of spatial knowledge during movement through the physical world. The appliance assists a person finding his/her way from an origin to a destination by providing an egocentric (viewer-centered) rather than an abstract top-down map-type view of the surrounding environment. We illustrate the use of the application in a foreign, or partially familiar, built environment of the scale of a small town or university campus and discuss first field experiments exploring egocentric way-finding support.

Viewpoint Tethering for Remotely Operated Vehicles: Effects on Complex Terrain Navigation and Spatial Awareness
OBJECTIVE The effect of viewpoint on the navigation of complex terrain and on spatial awareness was examined with the use of a simulated remotely operated vehicle. BACKGROUND The ability to build terrain models in real time may soon allow remote vehicular control from any viewpoint. A virtual tether couples the viewpoint to the vehicle's position and orientation, but shows more of the terrain...
متن کاملPractical Evaluation of EKF1 and UKF2 Filters for Terrain Aided Navigation
This article would study batch and recursive methods that used in terrain navigation systems. Terrain navigation has a lot ofdisadvantages and so researchers have been studied on different method of aided navigation for many years. Therefore, more types of aided navigation systems were introduced with advantages and disadvantages in terms of practical and theoretical. One of the main ideas for ...
متن کاملLocal Navigation in Rough Terrain using Omnidirectional Height
Terrain perception is essential for navigation planning in rough terrain. In this paper, we propose to generate robotcentered 2D drivability maps from eight RGB-D sensors measuring the 3D geometry of the terrain 360◦ around the robot. From a 2.5D egocentric height map, we assess drivability based on local height differences on multiple scales. The maps are then used for local navigation plannin...
متن کاملEgocentric spatial learning in schizophrenia investigated with functional magnetic resonance imaging☆
Psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia are related to disturbed self-recognition and to disturbed experience of agency. Possibly, these impairments contribute to first-person large-scale egocentric learning deficits. Sixteen inpatients with schizophrenia and 16 matched healthy comparison subjects underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while finding their way in a virtual maze. The ...

Although the memory impairment is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), AD has also been characterized by spatial disorientation, which is present from its early stages. Spatial disorientation in AD manifests itself in getting lost in familiar and unfamiliar places and have been characterized more specifically using spatial navigation tests in both real space and virtual environments as an im...
