RT Journal Article T1 A FastSLAM-based Algorithm for Omnidirectional Cameras A1 Gamallo Solórzano, Cristina A1 Mucientes Molina, Manuel A1 Vázquez Regueiro, Carlos K1 Simultaneous localization and mapping K1 FastSLAM K1 Omnidirectional camera K1 Hungarian association AB Environments with a low density of landmarks are difficult for vision-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms. The use of omnidirectional cameras, which have a wide field of view, is specially interesting in these environments as several landmarks are usually detected in each image. A typical example of this kind of situation happens in indoor environments when the lights placed on the ceiling are the landmarks. The use of omnivision combined with this type of landmarks presents two challenges: the data association and the initialization of the landmarks with a bearing-only sensor. In this paper we present a SLAM algorithm based on the wellknown FastSLAM approach. The proposal includes a novel hierarchical data association method based on the Hungarian algorithm, and a delayed initialization of the landmarks. The approach has been tested on a real environment with a Pioneer 3-DX robot PB Universitat d'Alacant SN 1888-0258 YR 2013 FD 2013 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/17701 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/17701 LA eng NO Gamallo Solórzano, C., Mucientes Molina, M., & Vázquez Regueiro, C.
