Title
Using the topological skeleton for scalable global metrical map-building
Abstract
Abstract—Most,simultaneous,localization and,mapping (SLAM) approaches,focus on purely metrical approaches,to map-building. We present a method,for computing,the global metrical,map,that builds on,the structure provided by a topological map. This allows us to factor the uncertainty,in the map,into local metrical uncertainty (which is handled,well by existing SLAM methods), global topological uncertainty (which is handled,well by recently developed,topological maplearning methods), and global metrical uncertainty (which can be handled,effectively once,the other types of uncertainty are factored,out). We believe that this method,for building the global metrical map will be,scalable,to very,large environments.
