FUSION OF FIXATION AND ODOMETRY FOR VEHICLE NAVIGATION

This paper describes a technique which involves fusing odometry with information provided by a vision system to determine the position and orientation of an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV). The method involves fixating on a landmark which leads to an improvement in navigation accuracy, even if the scene coordinates for the landmark are not known. The authors contend that this proposed method is a more simple procedure as only one point is required to be tracked. Experimental and simulation results support these findings.
