Abstract
Active snake contours are considered for representing the maps of an environment obtained by different ultrasonic arc map (UAM) processing techniques efficiently. The mapping results are compared with the actual map of the room obtained with a very accurate laser system. This technique is a convenient way to represent and compare the map points obtained with different techniques among themselves, as well as with an absolute reference. It is also applicable to map points obtained with other mapping techniques. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
