Abstract-This paper presents a way to achieve robot positioning using visual information from cameras placed in the environment. The goal is to obtain both the global position and a not fixed amount of features from the robot. There will be defined a algorithm that implements 3D reconstruction at the same time the position of the robot is updated. The problem statement is equivalent to visual SLAM process and therefore all definitions are made in a top-down Bayesian process. This document presents a novel study of robot positioning simultaneous with 3D reconstruction, with one camera and unknown robot landmarks, which will be easily expanded to a multicamera process. It's assumed that odometric information is always present in the system, so it will be used in both estimation and initialization phases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
