Topological maps model the environment as a graph, where nodes are distinctive places of
the environment and edges indicate topological relationships between them. They represent …

This work presents a systematic review of computer vision techniques for locating mobile
robots. Its main objectives are to analyze the latest technology in use to locate mobile robots …

This survey paper starts with a basic explanation about robot soccer and its systems, then
will focus on the strategies that have been used by previous researchers. There is a time …

An important part of current research on appearance based map** works towards
semantic representations of the environment, which may allow autonomous systems to …

Vision guided autonomous vehicles, such as autonomous ground vehicles (AGV) and
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), as well as various generations of self-diving cars are …

For service robotics, localization is an essential component required in many applications,
eg indoor robot navigation. Today, accurate localization relies mostly on high-end devices …

We propose an efficient method, built on the popular Bag of Features approach, that obtains
robust multiclass pixel-level object segmentation of an image in less than 500ms, with …

In the last decade, local image features have been widely used in robot visual localization.
In order to assess image similarity, a strategy exploiting these features compares raw …

Biologically inspired homing methods, such as the Average Landmark Vector, are an
interesting solution for local navigation due to its simplicity. However, usually they require a …

Pose estimation is a key concern in 3D urban surveying, map**, and navigation. Although
