Abstract

Exploration refers to gathering data about an environment through sensors in order to discover its structure. A fundamental technique for exploration of an unknown environment is Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). SLAM is a technique that supports the incremental building of a 3-D map representation of an environment while also using the same incremental map to accurately localize the observer in order to minimize errors in the map building. SLAM techniques can be implemented with laser range finders, monocular vision, stereo vision, and RGB-D cameras.
