Model-Based Parameter Optimization for Ground Texture Based Localization Methods
A promising approach to accurate positioning of robots is ground texture based localization. It is based on the observation that visual features of ground images enable fingerprint-like place recognition. We tackle the issue of efficient parametrization of such methods, deriving a prediction model for localization performance, which requires only a small collection of sample images of an application area. In a first step, we examine whether the model can predict the effects of changing one of the most important parameters of feature-based localization methods: the number of extracted features. We examine two localization methods, and in both cases our evaluation shows that the predictions are sufficiently accurate. Since this model can be used to find suitable values for any parameter, we then present a holistic parameter optimization framework, which finds suitable texture-specific parameter configurations, using only the model to evaluate the considered parameter configurations.
