Sommario/riassunto

Focusing on autonomous robotic applications, this cutting-edge resource offers a practical treatment of short-range processing for reliable object detection at ground level. This book demonstrates probabilistic radar models and detection algorithms specifically for robotic vehicles on land and at sea, in coastal environments. It examines grid-based robotic mapping with radar, based on measurement likelihood estimation. Moreover, this book reformulates the feature-based robotic mapping and simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) problems, so that detection, as well as spatial,



uncertainty can be incorporated in a principled manner.
