Abstract
The intention of this work is to introduce a vision-based localization system, which successfully enables a mobile robot to resolve its global position. The features used are based on wavelet multi-resolution textures, each of which is obtained from a space-frequency domain at a given wavelet-based salient point. These features have demonstrated invariance to translation, scale, illumination, as well as to partial variation in the image. The system is applied for the use in indoor terrain.
