Fusion of Spatially Referring Natural Language Statements with Random Set Theoretic Likelihoods

摘要

Localisation via the fusion of spatially referring natural language statements is considered here. The contribution lies in the underlying problem formulation and a robust modelling framework. Random-set-based estimation is the underlying mathematical formalism. Each statement generates a generalised likelihood function. A Bayesian filter is outlined that takes a sequence of likelihoods generated by multiple statements. The idea is to recursively build a map over the state space that can be used to infer the state.
