Mapping of Spatiotemporal Scalar Fields by Mobile Robots using Gaussian Process Regression
Thomas M. C. Sears,Joshua A. Marshall,Thomas M. C. Sears,Joshua A. Marshall
Spatiotemporal maps are data-driven estimates of time changing phenomena. For environmental science, rather than collect data from an array of static sensors, a mobile sensor platform could reduce setup time and cost, maintain flexibility to be deployed to any area of interest, and provide active feedback during observations. While promising, mapping is challenging with mobile sensors because vehi...
