Bearing only FastSLAM using vertical line information from an omnidirectional camera

This paper proposes an implementation of Fast- SLAM for localization and mapping for an indoor environment. The system use only the bearing information retrieved from an omnidirectional camera via vertical line segments which are common in an indoor environment. The real world experiment is also presented using Pioneer-DX3 mobile robot moving in a room with several objects.
