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...

Robust parameter design using the weighted metric method - The case of 'the smaller the better'

Mostafa Kamali Ardakani, Rassoul Noorossana, Seyed Taghi Akhavan Niaki, Homayoun Lahijanian (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In process robustness studies, it is desirable to minimize the influence of noise factors on the system and simultaneously determine the levels of controllable factors optimizing the overall response or outcome. In the cases when a random effects model is applicable and a fixed effects model is assumed instead, an increase in the variance of the coefficient vector should be expected. In this paper, the impacts of this assumption on the results of the experiment in the context of robust...
