Title :
Appearance-based models of locations for mobile robots
Author_Institution :
McGill University
Abstract :
This talk will discuss the synergy of computer vision and mobile robotics. Key issues for such robots are estimating their current location in both qualitative and quantitative terms. In addition, estimating the 3D layout of the environment is critical for both collision avoidance and the completion of many tasks. This talk will discuss these problems using evidence accumulation as a robot moves, using raw measurements obtained from appearancebased computer vision. The inferences from appearance will be made using statistical learning.
