Abstract
This paper investigates the use of SOM to process the signal of a 2D laser scanner encountered in feature extraction (corner) and mobile robot self-localization in indoor environments. It presents the method of combining SOM with occupancy grid matching to improve the self-localization performance at the lower computational cost. Experimental results demonstrate that this method can reliably extract the feature of corner point and can effectively improve the self-localization performance of mobile robot.
