Abstract: The present disclosure provides a localization method as well as a helmet and a computer readable storage medium using the same. The method includes: extracting first feature points from a target image; obtaining inertial information of the carrier, and screening the first feature points based on the inertial information to obtain second feature points; triangulating the second feature points of the target image to generate corresponding initial three-dimensional map points, if the target image is a key frame image; performing a localization error loopback calibration on the initial three-dimensional map points according to at least a predetermined constraint condition to obtain target three-dimensional map points; and determining a positional point of the specific carrier according to the target three-dimensional map points. In this manner, the accuracy of the localization of a dynamic object such as a person when moving can be improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a navigation map updating method as well as an apparatus, and a robot using the same. The method includes: controlling a robot to move along a designated path after a successful relocalization of the robot, and recording key frame data of each frame on the designated path and a corresponding pose; creating a new navigation map, and copying information in an original navigation map into the new navigation map; and covering the key frame data of each frame on the designated path onto the new navigation map to obtain an updated navigation map. In this manner, there is no need for the user to manipulate the robot to recreate the map at the environment where the robot is operated, which saves a lot of time and manpower.

Abstract: A relocation method and a mobile machine using the same are provided. The method includes: obtaining a global map and a current scan map of a target scene where a mobile machine is located, and generating a local sub-map based on the global map; obtaining a black boundary in the local sub-map, determining a length and a curve complexity of the black boundary, and determining a weight of the black boundary based on the length and the curve complexity of the black boundary; determining an estimated pose and a target black boundary based on the local sub-map and the current scan image, and obtaining a matching value between the current scan image and the local sub-map based on a weight of the target black boundary; and determining the estimated pose as a relocated pose of the mobile machine in response to the matching value being larger than a preset threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robot mapping method as well as a robot and a computer readable storage medium using the same. The method includes: detecting a marker with identification information capable of being identified by the robot in a current scene; determining whether the detected marker meets a preset condition; and mapping the current scene based on the marker, if the detected marker meets the preset condition. The robot mapping method can not only map the current scene, but also effectively reduce the difficulty of loops and the number of false loops.

Abstract: A loop closure detection method, a mobile device, and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: collecting images in different detection directions simultaneously through C0 cameras installed on the mobile device to obtain an image data group comprising C0 images; calculating feature information of each image in the image data group; performing a loop closure detection in C0 sub-threads respectively based on the feature information to obtain a loop closure detection result of each sub-thread; and determining a loop closure detection result of the mobile device based on the loop closure detection result of each sub-thread. In this manner, cross detections in a plurality of detection directions can be realized, which breaks through the limitation of loop closure detection in the prior art with respect to path direction, avoids repeated paths in the same direction, and greatly improves the mapping efficiency.
