Mobile Robot Localization and Mapping with Uncertainty using Scale-Invariant Visual Landmarks
2002
The international journal of robotics research
In this paper, we describe a vision-based mobile robot localization and mapping algorithm, which uses scale-invariant image features as natural landmarks in unmodified environments. ...
The invariance of these features to image translation, scaling and rotation makes them suitable landmarks for mobile robot localization and map building. ...

Real-time wide-angle stereo visual SLAM on large environments using SIFT features correction
2007
2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems
At the submap level (low level SLAM), 3D sequential mapping of natural land-marks and the robot location/orientation are obtained using a top-down Bayesian method to model the dynamic behavior. ...
This uses a SIFT correction method based on the sub-maps' fingerprints. A comparison of the low SLAM level using our method and SIFT features has been carried out. ...
The global map is divided into local sub-maps identified by the SIFT visual landmarks, that we will call fingerprint. Then, the robot is locally positioned in a sub-map using the low level SLAM. ...
