Abstract:

Summary for development of visual navigation methods would benefit the further exploration in this field.  The classifications of visual navigation methods were discussed. And the representative articles were introduced under the classification of mapbased visual navigations, mapbuilding navigations and mapless navigations. Then a review of integrated navigations with vision was presented. Analysis of recent works on the visual navigation showed that the hotspot of visual navigation had extended to intelligence and multi-sensor fusion.

Key words: computer vision, visual navigation, autonomous navigation
