Different from traditional indoor place recognition methods which are based on kernels or bag of features, with large margin classifier, CFI proposed in this work is based on feature matching, image similarity and clustering of features and images. It establishes independent local feature clusters by feature cloud registration to represent each room, and defines image distance to describe the similarity between images or feature clusters, which determines the label of query images. Besides, it improves recognition speed by image scaling, with state inertia and hidden Markov model constraining the transition of the state to kill unreasonable wrong recognitions and achieves remarkable precision and speed. A series of experiments are conducted to test the algorithm based on standard databases, and it achieves recognition rate up to 97% and speed is over 30 fps, which is much superior to traditional methods. Its impressive precision and speed demonstrate the great discriminative power in the face of complicated environment.展开更多
