Robotics semantic localization using deep learning techniques
type: CreativeWork
description: The tremendous technological advance experienced in recent years has allowed the development and implementation of algorithms capable of performing different tasks that help humans in their daily lives. Scene recognition is one of the fields most benefited by these advances. Scene recognition gives different systems the ability to define a context for the identification or recognition of objects or places. In this same line of research, semantic localization allows a robot to identify a place semantically. Semantic classification is currently an exciting topic and it is the main goal of a large number of works. Within this context, it is a challenge for a system or for a mobile robot to identify semantically an environment either because the environment is visually different or has been gradually modified. Changing environments are challenging scenarios because, in real-world applications, the system must be able to adapt to these environments. This research focuses on recent techniques for categorizing places that take advantage of DL to produce a semantic definition for a zone. As a contribution to the solution of this problem, in this work, a method capable of updating a previously trained model is designed. This method was used as a module of an agenda system to help people with cognitive problems in their daily tasks. An augmented reality mobile phone application was designed which uses DL techniques to locate a customer’s location and provide useful information, thus improving their shopping experience. These solutions will be described and explained in detail throughout the following document.
