A visual landmark design method for high speed multiple robots

Abstract

The visual structured landmarks used in robot localization are popularly utilized in the mobile robot navigation field. When the localization of the robot implies fast and accurate performances, such landmarks can be used in visual surveillance systems to get very efficient results. This paper suggests a visual landmark designing methodology for high speed multiple mobile robots. The conventional visual landmark models are examined according to instructions of the proposed methodology. The experimental results are presented to evaluate the conventional landmarks and verify the feasibility of the proposed methodology in an indoor visual surveillance system.
