— In this paper we present a vision-based approach to self-localization that uses a novel scheme to integrate featurebased matching of panoramic images with Monte Carlo localizat...
—Panoramic images are a new type of visual data that provide many new possibilities as compared to the classic planar images. Tele-presence and virtual navigation are examples of...
Robotic navigation algorithms increasingly make use of the panoramic field of view provided by omnidirectional images to assist with localization tasks. Since the images taken by ...
We present a fast and efficient homing algorithm based on Fourier transformed panoramic images. By continuously comparing Fourier coefficients calculated from the current view wit...
Abstract. Autonomous mobile robot navigation systems are based on three principal kinds of techniques: map-based navigation, map-building-based navigation and mapless navigation. W...
