Localization is the basis for navigation of mobile robots. This paper focuses on key techniques of localization for mobile robots based on vision. Firstly, the specific measures and steps of the algorithm are analyzed and researched in depth. In the study, SIFT algorithm combined with epipolar geometry constraint is used on the environment feature point detection, matching and tracking. And the method of RANSAC combined with the least squares is used to obtain accurate results of the motion estimation. Then the necessary experiments are carried out to verify the correctness and effectiveness of algorithms. The experimental results verified the accuracy of the improved algorithm.

AbstractElectromagnetic levitation is a kind of magnetohydrodynamic phenomena which is useful to measure the thermo-physical properties of pure metals under high temperature. However, this phenomenon is complicated and detailed mechanisms of this phenomenon have not been clarified yet. This study proposes the meshless method based on weighted least square method for the analysis of electromagnetic levitation. In this study, the fluid motion equation and the magnetic field equation are coupled by this method. The behavior of a molten metal under high-frequency magnetic field is calculated by this method.
