Some Room for GLVQ: Semantic Labeling of Occupancy Grid Maps

  • Conference paper
Advances in Self-Organizing Maps and Learning Vector Quantization

Abstract

This paper aims at an approach for labeling places within a grid cell environment. For that we propose a method that is based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to extract environment specific features from a given occupancy grid map. NMF also computes a description about where on the map these features need to be applied. We use this description after certain pre-processing steps as an input for generalized learning vector quantization (GLVQ) to achieve the classification or labeling of the grid cells. Our approach is evaluated on a standard data set from University of Freiburg, showing very promising results.
