Comparison of Position Estimation Techniques Using Occupancy Grids
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of perception and localisation for a mobile robot in an unknown environment. It describes a modelling of the environment based on two certainty grids: one local model and the other one a global model. Localisation of the robot is reduced to nding the best alignment of the local certainty grid onto the global certainty grid. Four localisation procedures to correct the robot position are introduced. First experimental results show the capacity of the method.

A Comparison of Position Estimation Techniques Using Occupancy Grids
A mobile robot requires perception of its local environment for both sensor based locomotion and for position estimation. Occupancy grids, based on ultrasonic range data, provide a robust description of the local environment for locomotion. Unfortunately, current techniques for position estimation based on occupancy grids are both unreliable and computationally expensive. This paper reports on ...
متن کاملSubpixel Localization and Uncertainty Estimation Using Occupancy Grids
We describe techniques for performing mobile robot localization using occupancy grids that allow subpixel localization and uncertainty estimation in the pixelized pose space. The techniques are based on a localization method where matching is performed between the visible landmarks at the current robot position and a previously generated map of the environment. A likelihood function over the sp...
متن کاملA comparison of three uncertainty calculi for building sonar-based occupancy grids
In this paper, we describe and compare three different uncertainty calculi techniques to build occupancy grids of an unknown environment using sensory information provided by a ring of ultrasonic range-finders. These techniques are based on Bayesian theory, Dempster–Shafer theory of evidence, and fuzzy set theory. Several sensor models are presented to handle uncertainty according to the select...
متن کاملAuditory Occupancy Grids with a Mobile Robot
This paper presents the use of auditory occupancy grids (AOGs) for mapping of a mobile robot’s acoustic environment. An AOG is a probabilistic map of sound source locations built from multiple measurements using techniques from both probabilistic robotics and sound localization. The mapping is simulated, tested for robustness, and then successfully implemented on a threemicrophone mobile robot ...
متن کاملReliability of Occupancy and Binomial Mixture Models for Estimating Abundance of Golden-cheeked Warblers (setophaga Chrysoparia)
—Reliable estimates of population parameters derived from survey methods are essential for decision making in management of endangered species. We evaluated whether point-count surveys used in conjunction with occupancy and binomial mixture models (BMMs) constituted a reliable approach for monitoring the federally endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler (Setophaga chrysoparia) on a preserve in centra...
