Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
Project Summary
The project involves setting up an omnidirectional camera on our Guiabot robot and building an interface to grab the images and process them under the Robotics Operating System (ROS). A wide baseline stereo technique will be used to reconstruct 3D feature points and track them over time.
The omnidirectional images will be used to create an appearance-based map for a non-static environment.
Expected outcomes, applications and/or benefits
The aim of the project is to study the dynamics of changing appearance inside an indoor environment over relatively long period of time. The student will gain hands on experience with omnidirectional cameras, mobile robotic platforms and ROS.
Required student skills/experience
Required experience with the followings: writing software to interface to cameras, image processing, multiple view geometry, and working under Linux.
