Abstract
A new approach to robot guidance by understanding the
Indication-Posts is proposed. The approach is based on the conviction that
once a human being is in an unfamiliar environment he can arrive at a
destination by following the Ips encountered.
Only a monocular image of the scene taken by the robot and local
information are required in this approach. To realize this concept, several
IPs depicting simple information were demonstrated. To understand the
meaning depicted by the IP, image processing and pattern recognition
techniques were integrated to resolve the problems of IP finding, robot
location determination, IP identification and understanding. Experimental
results in a simulated environment verified that the approach is feasible
and reliable.
