Vision-based Navigation Using Natural Landmarks
نویسنده
چکیده
MYNORCA is a vision-based navigation system for mobile robots, designed principally for operation in indoor environments. The system uses vision for detecting obstacles and locating natural landmarks. In addition, it is able to solve navigation problems in which the robot's initial location is completely unknown. In this paper, we present an overview of MYNORCA, describe its implementation and present some experimental results.

Vision Based Intelligent Wheel Chair Control: The Role of Vision and Inertial Sensing in Topological Navigation
This paper describes ongoing research on vision based mobile robot navigation for wheel chairs. After a guided tour through a natural environment while taking images at regular time intervals, natural landmarks are extracted to automatically build a topological map. Later on this map can be used for place recognition and navigation. We use visual servoing on the landmarks to steer the robot. In...
متن کاملOutdoor Navigation of a Mobile Robot Using Natural Landmarks
In this paper, we report how to navigate a mobile robot using natural landmarks such as trees and hedges on outdoor campus of university. At rst, we propose an automatic natural landmark acquisition by Landmark Agent (LmA). Next, we propose an autonomous navigation using the acquired natural landmarks. Furthermore, we will discuss the di culties of outdoor navigation using natural landmarks thr...

متن کاملA Vision-Based Guidance System for UAV Navigation and Safe Landing using Natural Landmarks
In this paper a vision-based approach for guidance and safe landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is proposed. The UAV is required to navigate from an initial to a final position in a partially known environment. The guidance system allows a remote user to define target areas from a high resolution aerial or satellite image to determine either the waypoints of the navigation trajectory or...
متن کاملLandmark-Based Pedestrian Navigation with Enhanced Spatial Reasoning
Computer vision techniques can enhance landmark-based navigation by better utilizing online photo collections. We use spatial reasoning to compute camera poses, which are then registered to the world using GPS information extracted from the image tags. Computed camera pose is used to augment the images with navigational arrows that fit the environment. We develop a system to use high-level reas...
