Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Position und Orientierung eines navigierenden Systems

DE1004015111 A UPAB: 20051130 NOVELTY - The method involves distance scanning of a region of the environment in front of the moving system, storing scanned distance points of at least two successive scanning processes, searching the resulting distance measurement curves for characteristic values e.g. extreme values and determining parameters of separately conducted translation and rotation transformations of one curve to determine associations of characteristics between transformed curves. USE - For determining the position and orientation of an autonomous navigating system, e.g. a robot. ADVANTAGE - Ensures local stabilization in real time in the case of a high-speed robot (speed greater than or equal to 4 m/s)
