Abstract

There are many research results about a self-localization technique of mobile robot. In this paper we present a self-localization technique based on the features of ceiling vision using a fisheye lens. The features obtained by SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) can be used to be matched between the previous image and the current image and then its optimal function is derived. The fisheye lens causes some distortion on its images naturally. So it must be calibrated by some algorithm. We here propose some methods for calibration of distorted images and design of a geometric fitness model. The proposed method is applied to laboratory and aile environment. We show its feasibility at some indoor environment.

이동 로봇의 위치인식 기술을 위하여 SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 시야각이 넓은 어안렌즈를 장착한 단일 카메라를 사용하여 천장의 특징점을 이용한 자기위치 인식에 관한 방안을 제시한다. 여기서는 어안렌즈 기반의 비전 시스템이 가지는 왜곡 영상의 보정, SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) 기반의 강인한 특징점을 추출하여 이전 영상과 이동한 영상과의 정합을 통해 최적화된 영역 함수를 도출하는 과정, 그리고 기하학적 적합모델 설계 등을 제시한다. 제안한 방법을 실험실 환경 및 복도 환경에 적용하여 그 유용성을 확인한다.
