Abstract
Inspired by rodents’ free navigation through a specific space, RatSLAM mimics the function of the rat hippocampus to establish an environmental model within which the agent localizes itself. However, RatSLAM suffers from the deficiencies of erroneous loop-closure detection, low reliability on the experience map, and weak adaptability to environmental changes, such as lighting variation. To enhance environmental adaptability, this paper proposes an improved algorithm based on the HSI (hue, saturation, intensity) color space, which is superior in handling the characteristics of image brightness and saturation from the perspective of a biological visual model. The proposed algorithm first converts the raw image data from the RGB (red, green, blue) space into the HSI color space using a geometry derivation method. Then, a homomorphic filter is adopted to act on the I (intensity) channel and weaken the influence of the light intensity. Finally, guided filtering is used to process the S (saturation) channel and improve the significance of image details. The experimental results reveal that the improved RatSLAM model is superior to the original method in terms of the accuracy of visual template matching and robustness.
