Abstract :
This contribution describes an approach for position estimation for a vehicle in known domestic environments like underground/multi-storey car parks. For environment data acquisition a laser scanner is used. First, the used environment representation is described. Subsequently, the feature extraction from the scanner data and the matching algorithms are presented. Finally, results of a prototypically implementation are shown.
