Vision sensors have become a widespread option to solve these problems. When using this kind of sensors, the robot must extract the necessary information from the scenes to build a representation of the environment where it has to move and to estimate its position and orientation with robustness. The techniques based on the global appearance of the scenes constitute one of the possible approaches to extract this information. They consist in representing each scene using only one descriptor which gathers global information from the scene. These techniques present some advantages comparing to other classical descriptors, based on the extraction of local features. However, it is important a good configuration of the parameters to reach a compromise between computational cost and accuracy. In this paper we make an exhaustive comparison among some global appearance descriptors to solve the mapping and localization problem. With this aim, we make use of several image sets captured in indoor environments under realistic working conditions. The datasets have been collected using an omnidirectional vision sensor mounted on the robot.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s140203033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,14]],"date-time":"2014-02-14T17:37:22Z","timestamp":1392399442000},"page":"3033-3064","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Performance of Global-Appearance Descriptors in Map Building and Localization Using Omnidirectional Vision"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3045-4316","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Pay\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda de Sistemas y Autom\u00e1tica, Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University, Avda. de la Universidad s\/n, Elche (Alicante), Spain"}]},{"given":"Francisco","family":"Amor\u00f3s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda de Sistemas y Autom\u00e1tica, Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University, Avda. de la Universidad s\/n, Elche (Alicante), Spain"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda de Sistemas y Autom\u00e1tica, Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University, Avda. de la Universidad s\/n, Elche (Alicante), Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1065-8944","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oscar","family":"Reinoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda de Sistemas y Autom\u00e1tica, Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University, Avda. de la Universidad s\/n, Elche (Alicante), Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"890","DOI":"10.1109\/70.897802","article-title":"Vision-bassed navigation and environmental representations with an omni-directional camera","volume":"16","author":"Gaspar","year":"2000","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
