Image based Landmark Registration Algolithm for Mobile Robot

Abstract

A mobile robot may associate landmark objects with their spatial and structual attributes in its internal map to recognize 3D environment. However, the landmark registration by hand according to the environment usually takes much cost. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for image based landmark registration by using SIFT features. In the method, images taken by a digital camera are associated with an internal 3D map created by the robot.
