Abstract
A method of localizing a mobile body (MB) in a known environment, includes the following steps: a) defining an occupancy grid (G) modeling the environment; b) defining a set of position grids (Π) each position grid being associated to a heading of the mobile body; c) receiving a time series of measurements (z, z, . . . ) from a distance sensor carried by the mobile body; and d) upon receiving a measurement of the time series, updating the pose probabilities of the position grids as a function of present values of the occupancy probabilities and of the received measurement; wherein step d) is carried out by applying an inverse sensor model to the received measurement, while considering the distance sensor co-located with a detected obstacle and by applying Bayesian fusion to update the pose probabilities of the position grids.
