Abstract
A new method based on multi-cues fusion of electronic images is proposed to achieve the task of robots estimation in this paper. The method has a premise that the robot is moving on locally planar ground, which is reasonable in indoor environments. To meet the acquirement of real-time and accurateness, the proposed method integrates KLT and SIFT features of electronic digital images to achieve mobile robots speed estimation effectively and accurately. Experiments show the effectiveness and robustness of this method in various environments.
