Abstract

This paper consider's the problem of exploring an unfamiliar environment in search of recognizable objects of visual landmarks. In order to extract and recognize them automatically, a feature map is constructed which records the set of features continually during a learning phase. The map contains photometric geometric, and metric information of each feature. Meanwhile, the localization algorithm can determine the position of the robot by extracting features and matching in the map. These procedures are implemented and tested using an AMR, and preliminary results are presented in this paper.
