Description

基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法及其装置 技术领域
本发明涉及即时定位与地图构建领域,尤其涉及一种基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法及其装置。
背景技术
移动装置的定位和地图构建是机器人领域的热点研究问题。对于已知环境中的移动装置自主定位和已知机器人位置的地图创建已经有了实用的解决方法。然而,在很多环境中移动装置不能利用全局定位系统进行定位,而且事先获取移动装置工作环境的地图很困难,甚至是不可能的。这时移动装置需要在自身位置不确定的条件下,在完全未知环境中构建地图,同时利用地图进行自主定位和导航。这就是所谓的即时定位与地图构建(SLAM)。
在即时定位与地图构建(SLAM)中,移动装置利用自身携带的传感器识别未知环境中的特征标志,然后根据移动装置与特征标志之间的相对位置和编码器的读数估计移动装置和特征标志的全局坐标。
目前,现在的自动行走机器人或设备的定位技术中常见的有:
1)、GPS定位;GPS定位的基本原理是根据高速运动的卫星瞬间位置作为已知的起算数据,采用空间距离后方交会的方法,确定待测点的位置。
2)、条形码定位方式。要将按照一定规则编译出来的条形码转换成有意义的信息,需要经历扫描和译码两个过程。物体的颜色是由其反射光的类型决定的,白色物体能反射各种波长的可见光,黑色物体则吸收各种波长的可见光,所以当条形码扫描器光源发出的光在条形码上反射后,反射光照射到条码扫描器内部的光电转换器上,光电转换器根据强弱不同的反射光信号,转换成相应的电信号。根据原理的差异,扫描器可以分为光笔、CCD、激光三种。电信号输出到条码扫描器的放大电路增强信号之后,再送到整形电路将模拟信号转换成数字信号。白条、黑条的宽度不同,相应的电信号持续时间长短也不同。然后译码器通过测量脉冲数字电信号0,1的数目来判别条和空的数目。通过测量0,1信号持续的时间来判别条和空的宽度。此时所得到的数据仍然是杂乱无章的,要知道条形码所包含的信息,则需根据对应的编码规则(例如:EAN-8码),将条形符号换成相应的数字、字符信息。最后,由计算机系统进行数据处理与管理,物品的详细信息便被识别了。
以上各定位技术在自动行走机器人或自动行走设备实现过程中相对复杂,各有不同缺点:
1.GPS定位由于信号问题在室内不实用。
2.条码定位方式,因条码容易受污染而照成无法读取使用场合有限制。
室内环境中的移动机器人定位导航技术具有定位精度要求高、环境复杂的特点,以上这些方法都不适用。
RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)射频识别是一种非接触式的自动识别技术,它通过射频信号自动识别目标对象并获取相关数据,识别工作无须人工干预,可工作于各种恶劣环境,RFID技术可识别高速运动物体并可同时识别多个标签,操作快捷方便。因此结合此种技术对现有移动机器人定位导航方法进行改进是十分必要的。
在现有的基于RFID的自动行走机器人定位技术中,如专利申请号为CN201320438818.2的一个中国实用新型申请专利,其公开了一种RFID室内定位系统,具体通过多个电子标签,并且将电子标签按照等边三角形的方式排列在定位区域内,通过无线信号强度来计算及定位。虽然该方法能够有效定位室内环境,定位精确较高,但是不足之处在于需要至少三个电子标签来发射无线信号,而且三个电子标签的排列方式固定为等边三角形,限制性多,且适应性不强。
在另一个专利申请号为CN201080034870.0的中国发明申请专利中,其公开的RFID定位系统将带有位置信息的RFID标签贴于建筑物某处,通过读取RFID标签信息来确定位置。该方法并不需要限定电子标签的排列方式固定为等边三角形,但是,这种方法需要先精确测量建筑物的尺寸等信息,然后将位置信息通过RFID读写器写入RFID标签,操作较为繁琐,而且也需要多个RFID标签才能有效实现定位效果。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
参见图1,是本发明实施例1提供的一种基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法的流程示意图。该基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法适用于利用可移动电子设备对设有至少一个RFID标签的待定位区域进行实时地图构建,该可移动电子设备可为例如:机器人。
本实施例的基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法包括步骤:
S11、以可移动电子设备初次沿一定的运动轨迹移动时获取到的第一个所述RFID标签信息时的第一个所述RFID标签的位置作为坐标系的坐标原点,并记录所述第一个RFID标签信息及其坐标值;
S12、以所述坐标原点作为起始点移动所述可移动电子设备并遍历整个待定位区域;
S13、在遍历过程中,基于所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离, 计算并记录所述可移动电子设备每一次检测到障碍物时的障碍物位置的坐标值;
S14、完成遍历后,基于记录的RFID标签的信息及其坐标值以及每一个障碍物位置的坐标值构建地图。
在步骤S11中,在待定位及地图构建的区域的至少一个特定位置/任意位置放置一个RFID标签后,需要对该整个区域进行定位和构建地图,则需要通过可移动电子设备遍历整个区域才能获得区域中的相关信息。在第一次遍历开始时,可使可移动电子设备沿一定的运动轨迹移动,直至该可移动电子设备感应到第一个RFID标签信息时,可移动电子设备将第一个RFID标签的位置作为由X轴和Y轴构成的坐标系中的坐标原点,并记录所述第一个所述RFID标签信息及其坐标值(坐标原点)。
可以理解的,为了方便计算和构图,将获取到的第一个所述RFID标签信息时的第一个所述RFID标签的位置作为由X轴和Y轴构成的坐标系的坐标原点。但是,第一个所述RFID标签的位置并不局限于只能作为由X轴和Y轴构成的坐标系的坐标原点,也可以是标记为其他参照点,具备参考作用即可,以方便记录其他点的信息。其中,RFID标签一般和RFID标签信息读取器配合使用,在RFID标签信息读取器的信号和能量激励下,RFID标签能将信息传递给RFID标签信息读取器上。因此,在该步骤中,本实施例的可移动电子设备可通过RFID标签信息读取器来读取RFID标签信息。
下面,详细描述可移动电子设备如何通过RFID标签信息读取器来读取RFID标签信息时确定该RFID标签的具体位置。
方式一:每一所述RFID标签采用无源RFID,限定所述可移动电子设备只有在距离每一所述RFID标签最近的位置时,所述可移动电子设备上的RFID标签信息读取器才能感应(获取)到每一所述RFID标签的标签信息。
这样,当所述可移动电子设备上的RFID标签信息读取器能够获取到该RFID标签的标签信息时,说明所述可移动电子设备的位置距离所述RFID标签已经足够近(彼此之间的距离可忽略不计),从而将所述可移动电子设备获取到该RFID标签时,将可移动电子设备此时所处的位置视为该RFID标签的位置。
可以理解的,可通过/调整可移动电子设备上的RFID标签信息读取器的读取范围(范围尽量小)来实现上述方式一的方案。
方式二:每一所述RFID标签采用有源RFID,所述可移动电子设备在移动过程中,当所述可移动电子设备上的RFID标签信息读取器感应到(达到一定的读取范围)任意一个所述 RFID标签的标签信息时,使所述可移动电子设备往RFID标签的RSSI逐渐增大的方向移动,可以理解的,RFID标签信息读取器可能感应到不少于一个RFID标签的标签信息,则将可移动电子设备往RSSI较大的一个RFID标签方向移动。直至所述可移动电子设备感应到的所述RFID标签的RSSI等于或大于预设的最大RSSI值时或直至所述可移动电子设备碰到所述RFID标签(可通过碰撞传感器部件来感测碰撞)时,将所述可移动电子设备此时的位置作为所述RFID标签的位置。
可以理解,除了上述两种方式,还可以利用其它方式来实现可移动电子设备通过RFID标签信息读取器来读取RFID标签信息时对该RFID标签的具体位置的确定,并不局限于所公开的方式。
在步骤S12~S13中,当确定以第一个所述RFID标签的位置为坐标原点时,将所述坐标原点作为运动的起始点移动所述可移动电子设备以遍历整个待定位区域。并且,在所述可移动电子设备从所述起始点开始移动的同时,启动实时计算所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离(例如,可通过机器人的驱动轮轴上安装的编码器来实时记录机器人所移动路径以及相对位置和角度,从而能够通过计算获得可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的位置(包括距离和方向),从而得到可移动电子设备的坐标值。在遍历过程中,可通过以下方式来计算所述可移动电子设备每一次检测到障碍物时的障碍物位置的坐标值:
方式一:利用碰撞传感器来感应障碍物,当碰撞传感器感测碰到障碍物时,将所述可移动电子设备当前的坐标值作为所述障碍物位置的坐标值;
方式二:利用激光传感器/红外传感器来探测障碍物,当激光传感器/红外传感器来探测到障碍物时,根据激光/红外距离计算原理计算出障碍物相对当前所述可移动电子设备的位置,从而计算出所述障碍物位置的坐标值。
另外,本实施例还增设了碰撞策略,即,在所述可移动电子设备的遍历过程中碰到障碍物时,根据预设的碰撞策略,使所述可移动电子设备绕开所述障碍物而继续前进。
在本发明的一个优选实施例中,所述预定的碰撞策略包括:当可移动电子设备通过(例如,碰撞传感器部件)感测到发生碰撞时,所述可移动电子设备将进行智能分析以确定进一步的移动方式。例如,所述可移动电子设备可以根据待定位区域的具体环境格局选择后退大于0且小于20厘米并且向右或左旋转1-10°。当所述可移动电子设备处于狭小空间中时,所述可移动电子设备可以选择后退大于0且小于2厘米。更进一步地,在连续3次旋转1°后的再次碰撞点均在一个平面时,所述可移动电子设备则选择旋转更大的角度,例如旋转角 度2°甚至10°。
可以理解的,除了这里公开的碰撞策略外,本实施例的碰撞策略还可以采用其他方式,并不局限于此。
因此,通过预设的碰撞策略,继续移动所述可移动电子设备以获取其他RFID标签和障碍物的坐标值,直至遍历完整个待定位区域时,才完成一次遍历。可以理解的,所述可移动电子设备完成一次遍历后,记录该待定位区域的全部特征信息(包括RFID标签的位置及每一个障碍物位置的位置信息)。
在所述步骤S14中,待所述可移动电子设备完成一次遍历后,基于记录的RFID标签的信息及其坐标值以及每一个障碍物位置的坐标值来构建地图。记录的信息越多,所构建的地图越丰富和详细。例如,由于可移动电子设备检测到障碍物时,会将障碍物的坐标值记录下来,当可移动电子设备置于室内环境遍历完整个房间后,便可以将所有障碍物的坐标连续记录下来,外围的同时围成一个圈的障碍物则可以认为是墙壁,这样,就将整个房间的无障碍区域,有障碍区域,墙壁区分开,这就构建了整个房间的地图。
可以理解的,所构建的地图为2D地图,所述可移动电子设备(例如,机器人)可以按照构建完成后的地图进行导航。
在本发明的另一优选实施例中,为了进一步提高所构建地图的精确度,可基于所述可移动电子设备的角速度或/和角度以及加速度对所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离进行纠正,从而校正每一个得到的坐标值。例如,如果通过机器人的驱动轮轴上安装的编码器来实时记录机器人相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离时,由于打滑、两驱动轮和地面接触点之间距离的不确定等原因,使得编码器的测算过程存在累积误差。因此,本实施例的可移动电子设备优选的,例如采用陀螺仪传感器或/和电子罗盘以及加速度计来分别实时记录所述可移动电子设备的角速度或/和角度以及加速度,然后,基于所述陀螺仪传感器或/和电子罗盘以及加速度计实时记录的角速度或/和角度以及加速度,以对编码器实时记录的所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离进行纠正,从而使得基于纠正后的所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离而计算得到每一个坐标值更为准确,从而使得基于坐标值构建的地图更为精确。
可见,本实施例的基于RFID的定位及地图构建方法只需要一个或以上的RFID标签即可实现待定位区域的定位及地图构建,而且方法简单,从而解决了现有技术中需要多个RFID标签才能实现定位而且操作繁琐的问题,具有成本低、操作简单且有效的技术效果。
参考图2,是本发明实施例2提供的一种基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法的流程示意图。该方法适用于利用可移动电子设备对设有两个或以上RFID标签的待定位区域进行实时地图构建。其中,每一个RFID标签对应设置在所述待定位区域的特定位置上,每一所述RFID标签信息包括用于区别其绝对位置的唯一编码信息。该可移动电子设备可为,例如:机器人。
本实施例的基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法包括步骤:
S21、以可移动电子设备初次沿一定的运动轨迹移动时获取到的第一个所述RFID标签信息时的第一个所述RFID标签的位置作为坐标系的坐标原点,并记录所述第一个所述RFID标签信息及其坐标值;
S22、以所述坐标原点作为起始点移动所述可移动电子设备并遍历整个待定位区域;
S23、在遍历过程中,基于所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离,计算并记录所述可移动电子设备每一次检测到障碍物时的障碍物位置的坐标值;
S24、在遍历过程中,基于所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离,计算并记录所述可移动电子设备每一次获取到的除所述第一个RFID标签外的其他RFID标签信息时的其他RFID标签位置的坐标值;
S25、完成遍历后,基于记录的RFID标签的信息及其坐标值以及每一个障碍物位置的坐标值构建地图。
可以理解的,本实施例的步骤S21~S23及S25与图1所示的步骤S11~S13及S14基本一致,在此不再赘述。
与实施例1不同的是,由于本实施例的方法适用于对设有两个以上RFID标签的待定位区域进行地位,且每一个RFID标签对应设置在所述待定位区域的特定位置上,每一所述RFID标签信息包括用于区别其绝对位置的唯一编码信息,因此,在所述可移动电子设备的遍历过程中,除了要计算并记录所述可移动电子设备每一次检测到障碍物时的障碍物位置的坐标值外,还要计算并记录所述可移动电子设备每一次获取到的除所述第一个RFID标签外的其他RFID标签信息时的其他RFID标签位置的坐标值,即步骤S24。
关于可移动电子设备如何通过RFID标签信息读取器来读取其他RFID标签信息时确定该其他RFID标签的具体位置,可参考上述实施例1的相关描述,在此不再赘述。
可以理解的,该处所指的可移动电子设备获取到的RFID标签信息中主要包含用于区别其绝对位置的唯一编码信息。例如,当将至少两个RFID标签分别放置在待定位区域的不同 特定位置(例如,房间1,房间2……)上时,需要通过所述RFID标签信息中的唯一编码信息来确定并区分该RFID标签所处的特定位置(绝对位置),例如,该RFID标签位于房间1还是房间2等。一般的,对于无源RFID标签,每个标签一般都会带有自身的唯一号码,可将该自身带有的唯一号码作为区别其绝对位置的唯一编码信息,并将无源RFID标签置于对应的特定位置上,以便对该特定位置进行识别。因此,通过获取每一个RFID标签信息中的唯一编码信息时,经过识别能够确定该RFID标签所处的绝对位置。
可以理解的,本实施例的基于RFID的定位及地图构建方法适用于对室内的待定位区域进行实时地图构建。在对室内环境进行定位时,优选在该室内的每一个房间门框的左侧和/或右侧墙壁上放置一个所述RFID标签111,如图11所示,可以理解的,所述RFID标签111可通过磁铁等方式吸附固定在墙壁上。优选的,可在房间门框的左侧和/或右侧墙壁上固定有固定槽100,将所述RFID标签111放置在所述固定槽100内,如图12所示。
这样,基于记录的每一个RFID标签信息及其坐标值以及每一个障碍物位置的坐标值完成地图构建后,所述可移动电子设备可以基于每一个RFID标签信息中的唯一编码信息来实现绝对位置的导航和分辨。例如,需要机器人遍历一趟房间2的时候,可以基于放置在该房间2的门框的左侧和/或右侧墙壁上的RFID标签的唯一编码信息来确定房间2的绝对位置(即该RFID标签位置),并基于该RFID标签位置在构建的地图上的相对坐标值(相对坐标原点的方向和距离),从而导航可移动电子设备从到达该房间2。
另外,基于每一个RFID标签信息中的唯一编码信息,还能使得可移动设备(机器人)知道其“身在何处”。例如,对于清洁机器人,需要对室内的多个房间进行清洁时,这样,通过识别每一个房间对应的RFID标签信息中的唯一编码信息,就能确定自身处于哪个房间,从而防止多次对同一个房间进行清洁,以减少重复工作。
参考图3,是本发明实施例3提供的一种基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法的流程示意图。该方法适用于利用可移动电子设备对设有两个或以上RFID标签的待定位区域进行实时地图构建。其中,每一个RFID标签对应设置在所述待定位区域的特定位置上,每一所述RFID标签信息包括用于区别其绝对位置的唯一编码信息以及用于区别可进入区域/禁止进入区域的区域编码信息。其中,带有禁止进入区域的区域编码信息的RFID标签将该RFID标签所在的分界线后的特定区域限定为禁止进入区域。该可移动电子设备可为,例如:机器人。
本实施例的基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法包括步骤:
S31、以可移动电子设备初次沿一定的运动轨迹移动时获取到的第一个所述RFID标签信 息时的第一个所述RFID标签的位置作为坐标系的坐标原点,并记录所述第一个所述RFID标签信息及其坐标值;
S32、基于获取的第一个所述RFID标签信息中的区域编码信息识别为可进入区域还是禁止进入区域,若为禁止进入区域,则根据预设的避开策略,使所述可移动电子设备避开所述禁止进入区域而继续前进;
S33、以所述坐标原点作为起始点移动所述可移动电子设备并遍历整个待定位区域;
S34、在遍历过程中,基于所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离,计算并记录所述可移动电子设备每一次检测到障碍物时的障碍物位置的坐标值;
S35、在遍历过程中,基于所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离,计算并记录所述可移动电子设备每一次获取到的除所述第一个RFID标签外的其他RFID标签信息时的其他RFID标签位置的坐标值;
S36、在遍历过程中,基于获取的每一个所述其他RFID标签信息中的区域编码信息识别为可进入区域还是禁止进入区域,若为禁止进入区域,则根据预设的避开策略,使所述可移动电子设备避开所述禁止进入区域而继续前进;
S37、完成遍历后,基于记录的RFID标签的信息及其坐标值以及每一个障碍物位置的坐标值构建地图,并基于每一所述RFID标签的区域编码信息在构建的地图上标示为可进入区域/禁止进入区域。
可见,本实施例在实施例2的基础上,还增加了一个功能,即解决了自动识别禁止进入区域问题(也称为虚拟墙)。在机器人识别禁止进入区域的解决问题上,传统方法主要是利用以下方式:
一种是irobot公司提出的采用红外线发射装置置于期望禁止进入区域分界线上,机器人检测到红外线以后就不越过该界线。这种方法的不足是红外线发射装置需要安装电池,给用户带来不便,另外一方面,该装置放置在分界线附近,如果家里有宠物等碰到改装置,该装置会移动,失去作用。
另外一种方法是Neato公司提出的采用磁条做分界线的方法,该方法需要用户将磁条贴于禁止进入区域的分界线上,采用霍尔传感器感应来区分。该方法的不足之处在于磁条贴于地面影响地面美观,另外一方面,用户如果希望更换禁止进入区域,磁条贴于地面不方便拆装。
而本实施例通过将用于区别可进入区域/禁止进入区域的区域编码信息置于每一个RFID 标签信息中,其中,带有禁止进入区域的区域编码信息的RFID标签将该RFID标签所在的分界线后的特定区域限定为禁止进入区域。这样,当可移动设备识别到RFID标签中的区域编码信息后即可区分。在识别为禁止进入区域后,结合预设的避开策略,即可使所述可移动电子设备避开所述禁止进入区域而继续前进。另外,在遍历完成后,基于每一所述RFID标签的区域编码信息,还可以在构建的地图上具体标示为可进入区域/禁止进入区域,以利于导航。
可以理解的,可以在可移动设备中预先设置RFID标签不同的区域编码信息代表可进入区域/禁止进入区域的关系对照表,这样,当获取的每一个所述RFID标签信息中的区域编码信息时,通过该对照表即可识别为可进入区域还是禁止进入区域。
其中,本实施例的预设的避开策略优选为:在识别出该区域为禁止进入区域时,使所述可移动电子设备后退P厘米并且向左/右旋转Q°后继续前进,其中,P不少于所述分界线的长度,45≤Q≤90。基于该预设的避开策略,基本上可以保证所述可移动电子设备能够避开所述禁止进入区域而继续前进。
另外,可通过以下方式来区分禁止进入区域和可进入区域之间的分界线:当可移动设备判断标签中的区域编码信息为禁止进入区域时,移动可移动设备在标签的左右两边寻找障碍物(墙壁)和无障碍区域,墙壁的延伸线就是禁止进入区域与可进入区域的分界线。
可以理解的,除了这里公开的避开策略外,本实施例的避开策略还可以采用其他方式,并不局限于此。
在利用本实施例的方法进行室内定位及地图构建时,优选在该室内的每一个房间门框的左侧和/或右侧墙壁上放置一个所述RFID标签。具体的,可在房间门框的左侧和/或右侧墙壁上设置有一固定槽,将所述RFID标签放置在所述固定槽内。
可见,相比现有技术中的虚拟墙技术,本发明实施例通过将用于区别可进入区域/禁止进入区域的区域编码信息写入(例如,房间门框边的固定槽内的)每一个RFID标签信息中,使得可移动设备获取并识别RFID标签中的区域编码信息后,即可确定该区域能够进入。因此,本实施例的成本低,而且不影响整体美观,还容易更换。
参考图4,是本发明实施例4提供的一种基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法的流程示意图。该方法适用于利用可移动电子设备对设有两个或以上RFID标签的待定位区域进行实时地图构建。其中,每一个RFID标签对应设置在所述待定位区域的特定位置上,每一所述RFID标签信息包括用于区别其绝对位置的唯一编码信息。该可移动电子设备可为,例如:机器人。
本实施例的基于RFID的定位与地图构建方法包括步骤:
S41、以可移动电子设备初次沿一定的运动轨迹移动时获取到的第一个所述RFID标签 信息时的第一个所述RFID标签的位置作为坐标系的坐标原点,并记录所述第一个所述RFID标签信息及其坐标值;
S42、以所述坐标原点作为起始点移动所述可移动电子设备并遍历整个待定位区域;
S43、在遍历过程中,基于所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离,计算并记录所述可移动电子设备每一次检测到障碍物时的障碍物位置的坐标值;
S44、在遍历过程中,基于所述可移动电子设备相对所述起始点的移动方向和移动距离,计算并记录所述可移动电子设备每一次获取到的除所述第一个RFID标签外的其他RFID标签信息时的其他RFID标签位置的坐标值;
S45、完成遍历后,基于记录的RFID标签的信息及其坐标值以及每一个障碍物位置的坐标值构建地图;
S46、以所述坐标原点作为起始点使所述可移动电子设备多次遍历整个待定位区域,并基于每次遍历得到的每一个RFID标签的坐标值,运用纠正算法对每一个所述RFID标签的坐标值进行纠正;
S47、基于纠正后的坐标值校正所构建的地图。
可见,本实施例在实施例2的基础上,进一步增加了通过多次遍历获得的RFID标签的坐标值并通过纠正算法来纠正RFID标签的位置,即步骤S46~S47。
具体的,由于编码器的累计误差或等其他原因,通过一次遍历获得的RFID标签的坐标值不可避免会存在误差,从而导致构建的地图不精确。因此,本实施例在构建地图后,通过可移动设备多次遍历的方式多次获取每一个RFID标签的坐标值,然后采用递推等算法对每个RFID标签的坐标值进行纠正,可移动设备遍历次数越多,计算出的RFID标签的坐标值就会越准确,直到最后几乎将误差减小到可忽略不计。最后,基于纠正后的坐标值校正所构建的地图。
因此,本实施例通过采用多次遍历以多次获取每一个RFID标签的坐标值,然后采用递推等算法对每个RFID标签的坐标值进行纠正,并基于纠正后的坐标值校正所构建的地图的技术方案,进一步消除了可移动设备的累计误差,从而提高了所述构建地图的精确度。
可以理解的,也可在上述实施例3中增加多次遍历以对每一个RFID标签的坐标值进行纠正的步骤,即步骤S46~S47。
参见图5,是本发明实施例5提供的一种基于RFID的定位与地图构建装置的结构框图。该基于RFID的定位与地图构建装置为可移动设备/安装在可移动设备上,适用于对设有至少 一个RFID标签的待定位区域进行实时地图构建,该可移动电子设备可为例如:机器人。
