Title
Navigation Advice from pq-Histograms
Abstract
We propose a novel visual navigation clue based on sum- marising the local 3D information into a single structure, called pq- histogram. This structure is obtained by discretising the local orientation or (p; q) of an image, and building a two dimensional histogram. This his- togram gives a global view of the 3D shape of the world, therefore it could be used for navigation. The potential application of the pq-histogram is illustrated in two domains. Firstly, semi-automatic navigation of an en- doscope inside the human colon. Secondly, mobile robot navigating in certain environments, such as corridors and mines. In both cases, the method was tested with real images with very good results.
