Practical Course B - WS 2012/13
People Localization -- Robotik Praktikum B / Robotics Practical Course B
Topic
This practical course will address the problem of visual localization in indoor environments. The task is to localize a person wearing a camera while walking through a building. We plan to address this problem in two settings: (a) data has been recorded beforehand in the building and (b) only a 2D floorplan is available.
A practical course (Praktikum) is a hands-on experience including a significant amount of programing work. The key goal here is to realize a real-world localization system that runs online and can localize a person in the two settings described above. The students will work in small teams and are expected to support their team throughout the whole term. Basic programming skills are required for this course. It is not mandatory (but suggested/helpful) to have attended the course 'Introduction to Mobile Robotics'. More details will be provided in the first week of the term.
