Visual simultaneous localisation and map-building supported by structured landmarks

Robert Bączyk, Andrzej Kasiński (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Visual simultaneous localisation and map-building systems which take advantage of some landmarks other than point-wise environment features are not frequently reported. In the following paper the method of using the operational map of robot surrounding, which is complemented with visible structured passive landmarks, is described. These landmarks are used to improve self-localisation accuracy of the robot camera and to reduce the size of the Kalman-filter state-vector with respect to...

Adaptive Document Image Binarization with Application in Processing Astronomical Logbooks

Laskov, Lasko (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): I.7, I.7.5. Recently, the digitalization of the astronomical scientific heritage has been considered an important task that can facilitate much researches in astronomy. The creation of digital libraries and databases of astronomical photographic plates brings up the problem of digitalization astronomical logbooks, since the data contained in them is crucial for the usage of the plates. An optical character recognition (OCR) system...

Local detection of defects from image sequences

Ewaryst Rafajłowicz, Marek Wnuk, Wojciech Rafajłowicz (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Our aim is to discuss three approaches to the detection of defects in continuous production processes, which are based on local methods of processing image sequences. These approaches are motivated by and applicable to images of hot metals or other surfaces, which are uniform at a macroscopic level, when defects are not present. The first of them is based on the estimation of fractal dimensions of image cross-sections. The second and third approaches are compositions of known techniques,...

Combining odometry and visual loop-closure detection for consistent topo-metrical mapping

S. Bazeille, D. Filliat (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

We address the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) by combining visual loop-closure detection with metrical information given by a robot odometry. The proposed algorithm extends a purely appearance-based loop-closure detection method based on bags of visual words [A. Angeli, D. Filliat, S. Doncieux and J.-A. Meyer, 24 (2008) 1027–1037], which is able to detect when the robot has returned back to a previously visited place. An efficient optimization algorithm is used...

Efficient RGB-D data processing for feature-based self-localization of mobile robots

Marek Kraft, Michał Nowicki, Rudi Penne, Adam Schmidt, Piotr Skrzypczyński (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The problem of position and orientation estimation for an active vision sensor that moves with respect to the full six degrees of freedom is considered. The proposed approach is based on point features extracted from RGB-D data. This work focuses on efficient point feature extraction algorithms and on methods for the management of a set of features in a single RGB-D data frame. While the fast, RGB-D-based visual odometry system described in this paper builds upon our previous results...

Uncertainty models of vision sensors in mobile robot positioning

Piotr Skrzypczyński (2005)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper discusses how uncertainty models of vision-based positioning sensors can be used to support the planning and optimization of positioning actions for mobile robots. Two sensor types are considered: a global vision with overhead cameras, and an on-board camera observing artificial landmarks. The developed sensor models are applied to optimize robot positioning actions in a distributed system of mobile robots and monitoring sensors, and to plan the sequence of actions for a robot...

Application of bearing and distance trees to the identification of landmarks on the coast

Tomasz Praczyk (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The problem of continuous position availability is one of the most important issues connected with the human activity at sea. Because the availability of satellite navigational systems can be limited in some cases, e.g. during military operations, one has to consider additional methods of acquiring information about the ship's position. In this paper one of these methods is presented, which is based on exploiting landmarks located on a coastline. A navigational radar is used to obtain...
