1、附录A 英文原文Scene recognition for mine rescue robot localization based on visionCUI Yi-an(崔益安), CAI Zi-xing(蔡自兴), WANG Lu(王 璐)Abstract：A new scene recognition system was presented based on fuzzy logic and hidden Markov model(HMM) that can be applied in mine rescue robot localization during emergencies.
2、The system uses monocular camera to acquire omni-directional images of the mine environment where the robot locates. By adopting center-surround difference method, the salient local image regions are extracted from the images as natural landmarks. These landmarks are organized by using HMM to repres
3、ent the scene where the robot is, and fuzzy logic strategy is used to match the scene and landmark. By this way, the localization problem, which is the scene recognition problem in the system, can be converted into the evaluation problem of HMM. The contributions of these skills make the system have
4、 the ability to deal with changes in scale, 2D rotation and viewpoint. The results of experiments also prove that the system has higher ratio of recognition and localization in both static and dynamic mine environments.Key words: robot location; scene recognition; salient image; matching strategy; f
5、uzzy logic; hidden Markov model1 IntroductionSearch and rescue in disaster area in the domain of robot is a burgeoning and challenging subject1. Mine rescue robot was developed to enter mines during emergencies to locate possible escape routes for those trapped inside and determine whether it is saf

With its feasibility and effectiveness, scene recognition becomes one of the important technologies of topologi
7、cal localization.Currently most scene recognition methods are based on global image features and have two distinct stages: training offline and matching online.During the training stage, robot collects the images of the environment where it works and processes the images to extract global features t
8、hat represent the scene. Some approaches were used to analyze the data-set of image directly and some primary features were found, such as the PCA method 3. However, the PCA method is not effective in distinguishing the classes of features. Another type of approach uses appearance features including
9、 color, texture and edge density to represent the image. For example, ZHOU et al4 used multidimensional histograms to describe global appearance features. This method is simple but sensitive to scale and illumination changes. In fact, all kinds of global image features are suffered from the change o
10、f environment.LOWE 5 presented a SIFT method that uses similarity invariant descriptors formed by characteristic scale and orientation at interest points to obtain the features. The features are invariant to image scaling, translation, rotation and partially invariant to illumination changes. But SI
11、FT may generate 1 000 or more interest points, which may slow down the processor dramatically.During the matching stage, nearest neighbor strategy(NN) is widely adopted for its facility and intelligibility6. But it cannot capture the contribution of individual feature for scene recognition. In exper
12、iments, the NN is not good enough to express the similarity between two patterns. Furthermore, the selected features can not represent the scene thoroughly according to the state-of-art pattern recognition, which makes recognition not reliable7.So in this work a new recognition system is presented,
13、which is more reliable and effective if it is used in a complex mine environment. In this system, we improve the invariance by extracting salient local image regions as landmarks to replace the whole image to deal with large changes in scale, 2D rotation and viewpoint. And the number of interest poi
14、nts is reduced effectively, which makes the processing easier. Fuzzy recognition strategy is designed to recognize the landmarks in place of NN, which can strengthen the contribution of individual feature for scene recognition. Because of its partial information resuming ability, hidden Markov model
15、 is adopted to organize those landmarks, which can capture the structure or relationship among them. So scene recognition can be transformed to the evaluation problem of HMM, which makes recognition robust.2 Salient local image regions detectionResearches on biological vision system indicate that or
16、ganism (like drosophila) often pays attention to certain special regions in the scene for their behavioral relevance or local image cues while observing surroundings 8. These regions can be taken as natural landmarks to effectively represent and distinguish different environments. Inspired by those, we use center-surround difference method to detect salient regions in multi-scale image spaces. The opponencies of color and texture are computed to
