✦ Synopsis

This paper proposes a method for reconstructing qualitative positions of landmarks by using geometrical constraints. The acquisition process iterates the following steps: (1) observing relations among landmarks and motion directions of moving objects, (2) classifying the landmarks into a pair of landmark sets which are classified with a straight line, (3) acquiring three-point constraints from the pair, and (4) propagating the constraints. We have applied this method to acquisition of qualitative positions of multiple vision sensors in a distributed vision system, and evaluated it with simulations.

Although recent (physical) robots have powerful sensors and actuators their abilities to show intelligent behavior is often limited. One key reason is the lack of an appropriate spatial representation. Spatial knowledge plays a crucial role in navigation, (self-and object-)localization, planning and

Existing computational models of structure-from-motion are all based on a quantitative analysis of variations in optical flow or feature point correspondences within the interiors of single objects. We present an alternative approach effective for objects rotating in depth. The method involves a set
