This paper presents uncertainty propagation in landmark based position estimation methods. Analysis of two methods has been carried out where robot position is estimated by detecting one or two globally distinct features using a pivoted stereo vision system. We make a basic assumption about error in estimating point features in camera images and propagate it into robot position estimate using first order approximation of non-linear functions. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the method.
This paper attempts to introduce a velocity -separation difference model that modifies the previous models in the literature. The improvement of this new model over the previous ones lies in that it performs more real...

Traditional intensity imaging does not offer a general approach for the perception of textureless and specular reflecting surfaces. Intensity based methods for shape reconstruction of specular surfaces rely on virtual (i.e. mirrored) features moving over the surface under viewer motion. We present a novel method based on polarization imaging for shape recovery of specular surfaces. This method overcomes the limitations of the intensity based approach because no virtual features are required. It recovers whole surface patches and not only single curves on the surface. The presented solution is general as it is independent of the illumination. The polarization image encodes the projection of the surface normals onto the image and therefore provides constraints on the surface geometry. Taking polarization images from multiple views produces enough constraints to infer the complete surface shape. The reconstruction problem is solved by an optimization scheme where the surface geometry is modelled by a set of hierarchical basis functions. The optimization algorithm proves to be well converging, accurate and noise resistant. The work is substantiated by experiments on synthetic and real data.
In this paper we discuss landmark based absolute localization of tiny autonomous mobile robots in a known environment. Landmark features are naturally occurring as it is not allowed to modify the environment with spec...

A method used for recognition and understanding of airfield based on mathematical morphology is proposed in this paper. The new approach can he divided into three steps. First, to extract the typical geometric structure features of airfield, a segmentation method called recursive Otsu algorithm is employed on an airfield image. Second, thinning and shrinking algorithms are utilized to obtain the contour of airfield with single pixel and to remove diffused small particles. Finally, Radon transform is adopted to extract two typical and important components, primary and secondary runways of airfield exactly. At the same time, region growing algorithm is exploited to get the other components such as parking apron and garages. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method gives good performance.

Presents a framework for the geometric interpretation of a single polarization image taken of specular reflecting objects. The task of recovering 3D shape information of specular objects from intensity images is a difficult if not impossible one, as no intensity based features are available. Polarization analysis provides additional features to overcome the problem. In particular the orientation of polarized light is measured, from which constraints on the object surface can be deduced. We show how to perform shape analysis from a single polarization image. The method is applied to local deformation measuring. Along with a discussion of polarization and related geometric issues, algorithms are presented and substantiated by experiments.
