Abstract :
An absolute position recovery method for an automated guided vehicle (AGV) which can move in any direction (free-ranging) on the floor using vision is introduced. The floor is permanently encoded with the terms of a pseudorandom binary array requiring only one bit of code per quantization interval, independent of the desired resolution
