Landmark-based nonholonomic visual homing

Abstract

In this paper, we present a method which allows pose stabilization of a car-like vehicle to a learnt location based on feature bearing angle and range discrepancies between the vehicle's current view of the environment, and that at the learnt location. We then extend the technique to include obstacle avoidance. Simulations and experimental results using our outdoor mobile platform are presented. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
