Mobile Robot Localization Using Camera

This thesis describes design and implementation of an approach to the mobile robot localization. The proposed method is based purely on images taken by a monocular camera. The described solution handles localization as an association problem and, therefore, falls in the category of topological localization methods. The method is based on a generative probabilistic model of the environment appearance. The proposed solution is capable to eliminate some of the difficulties which are common in traditional localization approaches
