Robot Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments by Matching 2D Range Scans

Abstract

We develop two algorithms to register a range scan to a previous scan so as to compute relative robot positions in an unknown environment. The first algorithm is used on matching tangent lines defined on two scans and minimizing a distance function. The second algorithm iteratively establishes correspondences between points in the two scans and then solves the point-to-point least-squares problem to compute the relative pose. Our methods avoid the use of localized features. They work in curved environments and can handle partial occlusions.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
