Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robot mapping method as well as a robot and a computer readable storage medium using the same. The method includes: detecting a marker with identification information capable of being identified by the robot in a current scene; determining whether the detected marker meets a preset condition; and mapping the current scene based on the marker, if the detected marker meets the preset condition. The robot mapping method can not only map the current scene, but also effectively reduce the difficulty of loops and the number of false loops.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a positioning method and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining, through the visual sensor, a current frame image; obtaining, through the ultra-wideband tag, distance of a robot from an ultra-wideband anchor; performing a feature matching on the current frame image and an adjacent frame image to generate partial map point(s); determining whether the current frame image is a key frame image; and optimizing a pose of the visual sensor corresponding to the key frame image through a joint objective function in response to the current frame image being the key frame image, where the joint objective function at least comprises a distance cost function of the ultra-wideband anchor and a visual residual cost function. Through the above-mentioned method, the accuracy of the positioning of the robot can be improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a loop closure detection method, a mobile device, and a computer readable storage medium. The method includes: collecting images in different detection directions simultaneously through C0 cameras installed on the mobile device to obtain an image data group comprising C0 images; calculating feature information of each image in the image data group; performing a loop closure detection in C0 sub-threads respectively based on the feature information to obtain a loop closure detection result of each sub-thread; and determining a loop closure detection result of the mobile device based on the loop closure detection result of each sub-thread. In this manner, cross detections in a plurality of detection directions can be realized, which breaks through the limitation of loop closure detection in the prior art with respect to path direction, avoids repeated paths in the same direction, and greatly improves the mapping efficiency.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a localization method as well as a helmet and a computer readable storage medium using the same. The method includes: extracting first feature points from a target image; obtaining inertial information of the carrier, and screening the first feature points based on the inertial information to obtain second feature points; triangulating the second feature points of the target image to generate corresponding initial three-dimensional map points, if the target image is a key frame image; performing a localization error loopback calibration on the initial three-dimensional map points according to at least a predetermined constraint condition to obtain target three-dimensional map points; and determining a positional point of the specific carrier according to the target three-dimensional map points. In this manner, the accuracy of the localization of a dynamic object such as a person when moving can be improved.
