An Uncertainty Propagation Architecture for the Localization Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, a dynamic localization method based on multi target tracking is presented. The originality of this method is its capability to manage and propagate uncertainties during the localization process. This multi-level uncertainty propagation stage is based on the use of the Dempster-Shafer theory. The perception system we use is composed of an omnidirectional vision system and a panoramic range finder. It enables to treat complementary and redundant data and thus to construct a robust sensorial model which integrates an important number of significant primitives. Based on this model, we treat the problem of maintaining a matching and propagating uncertainties on each matched primitive in order to obtain a global uncertainty about the robot configuration.

Generalized Aggregate Uncertainty Measure 2 for Uncertainty Evaluation of a Dezert-Smarandache Theory based Localization Problem
In this paper, Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty measure 2 (GAU2), as a newuncertainty measure, is considered to evaluate uncertainty in a localization problem in which cameras’images are used. The theory that is applied to a hierarchical structure for a decision making to combinecameras’ images is Dezert-Smarandache theory. To evaluate decisions, an analysis of uncertainty isexecuted at every...
متن کاملCommodity price uncertainty propagation in open-pit mine production planning by Latin hypercube sampling method
Production planning of an open-pit mine is a procedure during which the rock blocks are assigned to different production periods in a way that leads to the highest net present value (NPV) subject to some operational and technical constraints. This process becomes much more complicated by incorporation of the uncertainty existing in the input parameters. The commodity price uncertainty is among ...

متن کاملAnalytical Expressions for Positioning Uncertainty Propagation in Networks of Robots
In this paper we present an analysis of the positioning uncertainty increase rate for a group of mobile robots. The simplified version for a group of N robots moving along one dimension is considered. The one dimension restriction permits us to extract an exact expression for the accumulation of positioning uncertainty in a group of robots equipped with proprioceptive (odometric in this case) a...
متن کاملAnalysis of multirobot localization uncertainty propagation
This paper deals with the problem of cooperative localization for the case of large groups of mobile robots. A Kalman filter estimator is implemented and tested for this purpose. The focus of this paper is to examine the effect on localization accuracy of the number N of participating robots and the accuracy of the sensors employed. More specifically, we investigate the improvement in localizat...
