Biologically inspired homing methods, such as the Average Landmark Vector, are an interesting solution for local navigation due to its simplicity. However, usually they require a modification of the environment by placing artificial landmarks in order to work reliably. In this paper we combine the Average Landmark Vector with invariant feature points automatically detected in panoramic images to overcome this limitation. The proposed approach has been evaluated first in simulation and, as promising results are found, also in two data sets of panoramas from real world environments. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V. ; This work was partially supported by the FI grant from the Generalitat de Catalunya, the European Social Fund, the MID-CBR project grant TIN2006-15140- C03-01 and FEDER funds, the grant 2005-SGR-00093, the MIPRCV Consolider Imagennio 2010 and the Marco Polo fund from the University of Groningen. ; Peer Reviewed
