Omni-directional camera is composed of conventional camera and convex mirror. It has large field of view, which further reduces the number of images necessary to represent a location. The stmctnre, p~operty anti geometry of the omni-directional camera are presented. The principle of trigonometric location is also presented. We use trigonometric location and data derived from omni-directional image processing to realize robot location. Preliminary location experiments with a mobile robot equipped with an omni-directional camera in indoor environment are performed. The result of experiments shows that the proposed method has good performance.","PeriodicalId":375056,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Intelligent Mechatronics and Automation, 2004.

One of the most significant outstanding challenges is the stringent constraint on energy consumption. In this paper, we present a novel energy-efficient routing protocol called THEEM (Two- Hop Energy-Eficient Mesh) for wireless sensor networks. In the THEEM protocol, :a two-hop scheme and a centralized mesh (cluster) formation method are employed along with other design innovations, such as the concepts of mesh layer/column, power-aware meshhead assignment and a low-energy media access protocol, to achieve energy efficiency. This protocol reduces energy consumption quite significantly and thus prolongs the longevity of a sensor network. In the meantime, it increases network data throughput. Moreover, equal energy dissipation among all sensor nodes in a network is achieved. Simulation results show that the THEEM protocol performs much better in terms of all the above criteria when compared with other wireless sensor network routing protocols.","PeriodicalId":375056,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Conference on Intelligent Mechatronics and Automation, 2004.

When a camera moves at arbitrary direction to the object, consecutive two images containing the two feature points are taken. The depth oi the two featore points before and after the camera moves can be computed at a time according to the image coordinates of them. A search algorithm is also presented to enhance the precision of the computed depth and the robustness of this estimation approach.
