Beschreibung
This book addresses spatial representations and reasoning techniques for mobile robot mapping, providing an analysis of fundamental representations and processes involved. A spatial representation based on shape information is proposed and shape analysis techniques are developed to tackle the correspondence problem in robot mapping. A general mathematical formulation is presented to provide the formal ground for an efficient matching of configurations of objects.
This book demonstrates bene?ts of abstract and qualitative reasoning that have not received much attention in the context of autonomous robotics before.
