Abstract

Route following based on visual landmark matching may require many models to cover all different situations. This paper describes a system that is able to adapt template's modelling parameters to environmental conditions (lighting, shadows, etc.) by a genetic learning technique. In addition, the mobile robot self-localisation is obtained by a stereo approach that uses the centres of matching in the two images to solve in a simple way the correspondence problem in the 3D position estimation. The experimental results show that the tracking robustness is improved, while using a small set of templates. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
