Abstract

In this paper, is presented a mobile robot localization vision system that uses only just one artificial landmark, which is supported with the results of a strong analysis of diverse significant concepts of projective geometry. Is widely known that even though a very promising matter for robot localization is the vision area, it has its weakness because the images are deformed due to the perspective view of the camera used, but with the system obtained with this investigation that uses projective geometric properties in the landmarks, it is possible to improve an adequate mobile robot localization. In this way, with the presence of just one landmark in the analyzed scene and with the support of its perspective views it is possible to obtain a satisfactory absolute localization of the mobile robot.
