A fundamental ingredient for semantic labeling is a reliable method for determining relevant spatial features of an environment and a proper way of describing the context through pattern classification. Adaptive Grid detects arbitrary dominant orientations in, fits corresponding line features with tunable resolution, and extracts topological information. This method is developed for the case of a maps with straight lines and occupancy informations. The goal of this project is to generalize the method for arbitrary feature fitting and develop a pattern classification for a more general map (like an aerial image of an structured area) other than just occupancy map.
Research Question: How to employ pattern classification as region descriptor and developing a general scheme for semantic labeling.
Work package P1: generalization of feature fitting, both in nature and shape. Features to be fitted and representing the structure of the environment do not have to be necessarily walls and straight light.
Work package 2: analysis of the cells represented by Adaptive Grid (pattern classification)
Work package 3: semantic label development
Deliverable: an implementation and demonstration of the developed method for a general semantic analysis based on Adaptive Grid. Result of the method shall be demonstrated on other types of maps/images other than occupancy grid maps.
