Abstract:
An apparatus for recognizing an indoor location using an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Intensity) map, includes an environment information acquirer configured to acquire indoor environment information and store the acquired indoor environment information on a node basis; a numerical map creator configured to create a numerical map; a field intensity creator configured to create the RSSI map; a dead-reckoning sensor configured to locate an area less than several meters within which the environment information acquire is actually located to locate a more accurate location within the area; a path information producer configured to produce path information including movable potential trajectories; and an initializer configured to initialize an initialization location of one or more candidate entities and fingerprint information.
Abstract:
An apparatus for recognizing a position of a moving object includes a sensor information collector to collect sensor information associated with movement of the moving object, a camera to capture a front image based on the movement of the moving object, and a GPS receiver configured to receive a GPS position of the moving object. Further, the apparatus includes a location recognizer to display N number of particles, each of which indicates a candidate position of the moving object, in a certain region about a GPS location of the moving object on a map. The location recognizer then updates a location of the particles based on the movement of the moving object, and progressively reduces number of particles on the basis of accuracy of the position-updated particles, thereby recognizing the position of the moving object.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method for detecting laser reflectors for mobile robot localization. The method includes collecting scan information data corresponding to positions of surrounding objects using a laser scanner mounted on a mobile robot; generating a reflector cluster based on reflection intensities of the scan information data; classifying the reflector cluster into individual reflector clusters, each of the individual reflector clusters corresponding to each of the laser reflectors; determining whether each of the individual reflector clusters is a valid individual reflector cluster corresponding to an actual individual laser reflector or not based on geometric filtering on die each of the individual reflector clusters; and calculating position of the actual individual laser reflector based on at least one of the scan information data corresponding to the valid individual reflector cluster.

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for global localization for a dynamic environment using a 3D LiDAR scanner. The method may include generating a 2D grid map from 3D point cloud data acquired using the 3D LiDAR scanner, searching for the 2D global position of a vehicle on the 2D grid map using data acquired from the 3D LiDAR scanner, and mapping the 2D global position to a 6-DOF position in the 3D space.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for generating a topological map for navigation of a robot. The method for generating a topological map for navigation of a robot, performed by the apparatus for building the topological map for the navigation of the robot, includes calculating the physical size of a single pixel on a metric map of a space in which a mobile robot is to navigate, extracting the physical coordinates of the pixel on the metric map, building node data and edge data for the navigation of the mobile robot using the physical coordinates, and generating a topological map for the navigation of the mobile robot based on the built node data and the built edge data.
Abstract:
An apparatus for providing information on an indoor infrastructure includes a search request receiving unit configured to receive a search request for a specific indoor space from any terminal. Further, the apparatus includes an information providing unit configured to transmit a map and spatial information corresponding to the specific indoor space to the terminal for the display thereof. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a node information providing unit configured to, when a specific node is selected in the displayed map and spatial information, search a video image, POI information or location information corresponding to the specific node and provide the searched result to the terminal.
