Determination the Opsition for Mobile Robot using a Neural Network

신경회로망을 이용한 이동로봇의 위치결정

During the navigation of mobile robot, one of the essential task is to determination the absolute location of mobile robot. In this paper, we proposed a method to determine the position of the camera from a landmark through the visual image of a quadrangle typed landmark using neural network. In determining the position of the camera on the world coordinate, there is difference between real value and calculated value because of uncertainty in pixels, incorrect camera calibration and lens distortion etc. This paper describes the solution of the above problem using BPN(Back Propagation Network). The experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method in comparison to conventional method in the performance of determining camera position.
