Abstract
New results on our artificial landmark recognition approach are presented, as well as new experiments in order to demonstrate the robustness of our method. The objective of our work is the localization and recognition of artificial landmarks to help in the navigation of a mobile robot. Recognition is based on interpretation of histograms obtained from polar coordinates of the landmark symbol. Experiments prove that our approach is fast and robust even if the database has an high number of landmarks to compare with.
