Optical Flow-Based Place Recognition: Bridging the Gap Between Simulation and Real-World Experiments

In this research a non-conventional approach is used for modeling an a priori unknown environment. Rather than taking into consideration the properties that describe an environment such as shape, size, or color, we model an unknown environment, with the view for a robot to recognize places, upon re-visiting, using the properties of camera motion. Furthermore, we make use of only a single camera se...
