From the Back Cover
Simultaneous Localisation and Map (SLAM) building algorithms, which rely on random vectors to represent sensor measurements and feature maps are known to be extremely fragile in the presence of feature detection and data association uncertainty. Therefore new concepts for autonomous map representations are given in this book, based on random finite sets (RFSs). It will be shown that the RFS representation eliminates the necessity of fragile data association and map management routines. It fundamentally differs from vector based approaches since it estimates not only the spatial states of features but also the number of map features which have passed through the field(s) of view of a robot's sensor(s), an attribute which is necessary for SLAM.
The book also demonstrates that in SLAM, a valid measure of map estimation error is critical. It will be shown that under an RFS-SLAM representation, a consistent metric, which gauges both feature number as well as spatial errors, can be defined.
The concepts of RFS map representations are accompanied with autonomous SLAM experiments in urban and marine environments. Comparisons of RFS-SLAM with state of the art vector based methods are given, along with pseudo-code implementations of all the RFS techniques presented.
John Mullane received the B.E.E. degree from University College Cork, Ireland, and Ph.D degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
Ba-Ngu Vo is Winthrop Professor and Chair of Signal Processing, University of Western Australia (UWA). He received joint Bachelor degrees (Science and Elec. Eng.), UWA, and Ph.D., Curtin University.
Martin Adams is Professor in autonomous robotics research, University of Chile. He holds bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees from Oxford University.
Ba-Tuong Vo is Assistant Professor, UWA. He received his B.Sc, B.E and Ph.D. degrees from UWA.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
