Title
Bi-Modal Search Using Complementary Sensing (Olfaction/Vision) For Odour Source Localisation.
Abstract
Odour localisation in an enclosed area is difficult due to the formation of sectors of circulating airflow. Well-defined plumes do not exist, and reactive plume following may not be possible. Odour localisation has been partially achieved in this environment by using knowledge of airflow, and a search that relies on chemical sensing and reasoning. However the results are not specific, with the odour source only restricted to a broad area. This paper presents a solution to the problem by introducing a second search stage using visual sensing. It therefore comprises a bi-modal, two-stage search, with each stage exploiting complementary sensing modalities. This paper presents details of the method and experimental results.
