Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for localization using at least one time-of-flight (ToF) sensor, map data and a processing unit. The method can comprise capturing at least one ToF sensor image comprising at least one feature with the at least one ToF sensor. The method can further comprise the processing unit extracting at least one feature from the at least one ToF sensor image and the processing unit comparing the at least one extracted feature with the map data. A location hypothesis based on the comparison step can be generated and output. The present invention also relates to a localization system comprising a ToF sensor configured to capture a at least one ToF sensor image, a memory unit, comprising stored therein map data and a processing unit. The processing unit can be configured to extract at least one feature from the at least one ToF sensor image. The processing unit can further be configured to access the memory unit comprising the map data and compare the at least one extracted feature with the map data. The processing unit can generate a location hypothesis based on the comparison of the at least one extracted feature with the map data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating cameras. In particular, the invention provides a method that estimates the position of interest points such as corners on images of array patterns, and uses such refined positions in an iterative calibration algorithm. The method can be extended to simultaneously process information from a large number of images from a plurality of cameras that are arranged in a fixed position on a mobile robot, wherein the images are representative of different camera poses. The optimization thereby provides a highly accurate estimate of camera calibration parameters.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of a robot (30) responding to a transition (40) between height levels, the method comprising a robot (30) travelling, sensing information of the surroundings of the robot (30) and generating a three dimensional data set corresponding to a heightmap of the surroundings of the robot (30) based on the information, detecting a transition (40) between different height levels (10, 20) in the three dimensional data set, categorizing the transition (40) between the different height levels (10, 20) by means of at least one characteristic, the robot (30) performing a response action, which response action depends on the categorization of the transition (40). The present invention also relates to a corresponding system.
