Abstract

In this paper, we describe a robot self-localization algorithm that uses statistical measures to determine color space histograms correlations. The approach has been shown to work well in environments where spatial nodes have unique visual characteristics, including rooms, hallways, and outdoor locations. A full color omni-directional camera was used to capture images for this localization work. Images were processed using user-created algorithms in National Instrument’s LabView software development environment.
