Omni-directional visual sensor for mobile robot navigation based on particle filter

A real-time visual servo system is developed to steer the system along the computed path and a novel system for autonomous mobile robot navigation is presented. The system consists of an omni-directional camera based on fisheye lens and an embedded image processing unit, and it can, recognize and track man-made landmarks robustly based on composite Particle Filter, and realize robot navigation finally. Experiments show that this system can recover the distortion due to fish-eye lens, track the landmarks, locate and navigate the robot effectively. Besides, this compact on board system can be easily integrated into a variety of mobile devices and appears low power, well modularity and mobility.
