— Visual localization and mapping for mobile robots has been achieved with a large variety of methods. Among them, topological navigation using vision has the advantage of offeri...
Abstract. This paper describes a visual localization approach for mobile robots. Robot localization is performed as location recognition. The approach uses global visual features (...

We present a performance evaluation framework for visual feature extraction and matching in the visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) context. Although feature extra...
In many applications in mobile robotics, it is important for a robot to explore its environment in order to construct a representation of space useful for guiding movement. We refe...
Many successful indoor mapping techniques employ frame-to-frame matching of laser scans to produce detailed local maps, as well as closing large loops. In this paper, we propose a ...
