Abstract

The appearance variation cue captures the variation in texture in a single image. Obstacle avoidance is based on the assumption that there is less variation when the camera is at very close to an obstacle.

This system proposes a procedure to improve the navigation when the building has detailed texture, since the existing system cannot detect the wall as an obstacle. The process of indoor navigation is optimized by extracting the image features such as texture of the building. Sensitivity can be improved with the help of using Black & White Camera instead of colour cameras.
