Abstract
Landmark-based approaches to robot navigation require an 'interest operator' to estimate the utility of a particular image region as an effective representative for a scene. This paper presents a color interest operator consisting of a weighted combination of heuristic scores. The operator selects those image regions (landmarks) likely to be found again, even under a different viewing geometry and/or different illumination conditions. These salient regions yield a robust representation for recognition of a scene. Experiments showing the reproduceability of the regions selected by this operator demonstrate its use as a hedge against environmental uncertainties.
