Abstract
The precise localization of the mobile robot plays a vital role in the autonomous operation of the mobile robot. The vision based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a widely known technique for tracking the movement of the camera in the unknown environment. This paper presents a robot’s movement model which is based on the reference trajectory of the robot. The proposed model was compared with the state-of-the-art model used in the successful MonoSLAM system[8] and provided good results.
This research was supported by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education under Grant No. N514 294635 for the years 2008-2010, which is gratefully acknowledged.
