Abstract

Recognition and mapping is the key innovation to rising technology, for example, intelligent robotic systems and autonomous driving. Our goal is to provide a robot with systems that will aid its recognition and mapping of its environment for better locomotion and navigation. In the case of navigation, we use homography on a semantic segmentation to build an occupancy grid. For localization of the camera, the ORBSLAM2 is used, pose estimation is used to improve the robustness of the tracking over the period of time and also results in a better environment reconstruction. Monocular camera-based occupancy grid construction was developed, and our trial results have indicated great execution of our algorithms under testing it in a real-world environment.
