Problem description: The recognition of landmarks [1] is a crucial problem for autonomous robotics. It is necessary to prevent the accumulation of localization estimate errors based on odometric information. Many computer vision techniques were developed to extract relevant features [2] from an image and to detect stable feature sets in a video stream. In this advanced seminar the student shall review the state of the art of engineered strategies used to enhance robots ’ vision-based recognition skills and discuss the impact of recent advancements in machine learning. Task: More precisely, the student shall: Introduce the problem of landmark recognition for robotic navigation Describe general strategies used to recognize landmarks Review the most common techniques for feature extraction and landmark recognition Evaluate the performance of each algorithm in terms of: o reliability of recognition o scalabilit
