X Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of automatic construction of a hierarchical map from images. Our approach departs from a large collection of omnidirectional images taken at many locations in a building. First, a low-level map is built that consists of a graph in which relations between images are represented. For this, we use a metric based on visual landmarks (SIFT features) and geometrical constraints. Then, we use a graph partitioning method to cluster nodes and in this way construct the high-level map. Experiments on real data show that meaningful higher and lower level maps are obtained, which can be used for accurate localization and planning.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
