simultaneous localization mapping (SLAM)
in autonomous mobile robotics
using laser range-finder sensors
to build 2-D maps of planar environments

SLAM with standard cameras:
feature detection
data association
large-scale state estimation

SICK laser scanner


Kalman filter
Particle filter
submapping

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_filter
particle filter = sequential Monte Carlo methods (SMC)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_registration
the process of transforming the different sets of data into one coordinate system


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_localization_and_mapping
the process of creating geometrically accurate maps of the environment
to build up a map within an unknown environment while at the same time keeping track of their current position
