Environment-Specific Novelty Detection
Stephen Marsland, Ulrich Nehmzow, Jonathan Shapiro · The MIT Press eBooks · 2002
Novelty detection, recognising features that differ from those that are normally seen, is a potentially useful ability for a mobile robot. Once a robot can detect those features that are novel the amount of learning that has to be done can be reduced (as only new things need to be learnt), the attention of the robot can be focused onto the new features, and the robot can be used as an inspection agent.
