Abstract
A method for defining a sensor model includes determining a probability of obtaining a measurement from multiple potential causes in a field of view of a sensor modeled based on a stochastic map. The stochastic map includes a mean occupancy level for each voxel in the stochastic map and a variance of the mean occupancy level for each pixel. The method also includes determining a probability of obtaining an image based on the determined probability of obtaining the measurement. The method further includes planning an action for a robot, comprising the sensor, based on the probability of obtaining the image.
