摘要: We propose a topological localization method based on optical flow information. analyse the statistical characteristics of signal and demonstrate that vectors can be used to identify describe key locations in environment. The (nodes) correspond significant scene changes depth discontinuities. Since contain position, magnitude angle information, for each node, we extract low high order moments use them as descriptors node. Once database nodes their corresponding features is created, robot perform by using Mahalanobis distance between current frame database. This supported field trials, which illustrate repeatability proposed detecting describing indoor outdoor environments challenging diverse lighting conditions.
