Feature-based Mapping

Feature-based mapping is a technique used by robots and autonomous vehicles to understand their environment. It involves identifying specific, recognizable details—called features—such as street signs, building corners, or trees. The system records these features' positions to create a map of the area. This map helps the robot or vehicle determine its location and navigate effectively. By focusing on distinct features rather than entire spaces, feature-based mapping allows for accurate, efficient, and adaptable environment understanding, even in complex or changing conditions.
