Abstract

A very promising subject for robot localization is the vision area. However, this initiative has proved to be weak because the image is distorted due to the perspective view of the camera that captures such image and, therefore, it is impossible to improve the localization of the mobile robot that holds the camera. In this paper, we present a mobile robot localization vision system based on an innovative algorithm supported by the results of the strong analysis of diverse significant concepts of projective geometry. This way, the presence of a single landmark in the analyzed scene and the support of its perspective views offer a satisfactory absolute localization of the mobile robot carrying the camera.
