Hi,
I am writing a program in MATLAB for robot localization based on scan matching and have the following problem:
I have recorded 1228 laser scans at different positions and extracted extreme points from these scans. So that gives me 1228 sets of extreme points (every set might have different number of extreme points depends upon the scan, approx. it gives around 20 extreme points per scan. One extreme point have two coordinates, 1) phi: the laser beam angle and 2) r: the range reading of the beam).
Now at run time laser scanner returns me a new scan and I want to compare the extreme points of this scan to my list of 1228 scans and compute the likelihood between new scan and the individual scans in my database.
Can anyone suggest me a method to compute this likelihood. I tried to compute Euclidean distance between the scans, but it does not return good results.
Thanks in advance for any help.
