Localization method for a moving robot
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A localization method of a moving robot, the method comprising:
- capturing a first omni-directional image by the moving robot;
confirming at least one node at which a second omni-directional image having a high correlation with the first omni-directional image is captured; and
determining that the moving robot is located at the first node when the moving robot reaches a first node, at which a second omni-directional image having a highest correlation with the first omni-directional image is captured, from among the at least one node.

Abstract
A localization method of a moving robot is disclosed in which the moving robot includes: capturing a first omni-directional image by the moving robot; confirming at least one node at which a second omni-directional image having a high correlation with the first omni-directional image is captured; and determining that the moving robot is located at the first node when the moving robot reaches a first node, at which a second omni-directional image having a highest correlation with the first omni-directional image is captured, from among the at least one node.

10. A localization method of a moving robot, the method comprising:
-
capturing a first omni-directional image by the moving robot; confirming at least one node at which a second omni-directional image having a high correlation with the first omni-directional image is captured; and determining that the moving robot is located at the first node when the moving robot reaches a first node, at which a second omni-direction image having a highest correlation with the first captured omni-directional image is captured, and moving the moving robot to move to the first node when the moving robot does not reach the first node. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17)

18. A moving robot, comprising:
-
an omni-directional camera capturing an omni-directional image by the moving robot; a correlation coefficient calculator calculating a correlation coefficient between the captured omni-directional image and at least a second omni-directional image captured at least at one node location of a movable place of the moving robot, the at least one node location being the node location having the highest correlation coefficient from among a plurality of node locations; and a controller moving the moving robot to the first node location when the correlation coefficient calculator calculates that the correlation coefficient is not greater than a reference value and the current first node location is not equal to a previous first node location and determining that the moving robot is at the first node location when the correlation coefficient is greater than the reference value. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
