Building Multi-Level Models: From Landscapes to Landmarks

In this paper a complete strategy for scene modelling from sensory data acquired in a natural environment is defined. This strategy is applied to outdoor mobile robotics and goes from environment recognition to landmark extraction. In this work, environment is understood as a specific kind of landscape, for instance prairie, forest, desert, etc. A landmark is defined as a remarkable object in the environment. In the context of outdoor mobile robotics a landmark has to be useful to perform localization and navigation tasks. Keywods- Environment modelling, landmarks, outdoor mobile robotics
