Abstract:
Examples described herein relate to mapping a space using a multi-directional camera. This mapping may be performed with a robotic device comprising a monocular multi-directional camera device and at least one movement actuator. The mapping may generate an occupancy map to determine navigable portions of the space. A robotic device movement around a point in a plane of movement may be instructed using the at least one movement actuator. Using the monocular multi-directional camera device, a sequence of images are obtained ( 610 ) at different angular positions during the instructed movement. Pose data is determined ( 620 ) from the sequence of images. The pose data is determined using features detected within the sequence of images. Depth values are then estimated ( 630 ) by evaluating a volumetric function of the sequence of images and the pose data. The depth values are processed ( 640 ) to populate the occupancy map for the space.

Claim (Index 4):
The robotic device of  claim 1 , wherein the occupancy map comprises a multi-dimensional grid, wherein entries in the grid indicate one of:\n an area in the plane of movement comprises free space and the area is navigable by the robotic device, and an area in the plane of movement comprises an object and the area is not navigable by the robotic device.
