A system and method for visual homing which utilizes epipolar geometry relating a target image and a current image taken by the robot to specify most of the parameters defining the differences in position and orientation of the image sensor between the two images (target and current). However, since not all the parameters can be directly recovered from two images, the present invention includes specific methods to resolve the ambiguities that exist. In particular, the present invention includes two systems and methods operative for two standard projection models, weak and full perspective.

Système et méthode pour ralliement visuel utilisant la géométrie épipolaire qui relie une image cible et une image courante prise par le robot pour spécifier la plupart des paramètres définissant les différences en position et orientation du capteur d'image entre deux images (cible et courante). Cependant, comme tous les paramètres ne peuvent être directement récupérés des deux images, la présente invention comprend des méthodes spécifiques pour résoudre les ambiguïtés qui existent. En particulier, le présente invention comprend deux systèmes et méthodes fonctionnels pour deux modèles de projection standard, en perspective faible et complète.
