arXiv:2609.03891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Semantic mapping plays a crucial role in the ability of a robot to interact with objects, operate and navigate a complex environment. The most common pipeline for semantic mapping consists of geometric mapping and localization (SLAM), perception, semantic fusion and semantic representation. However, more recent works also integrate a form of prior knowledge in their application, most notably knowledge graphs or semantic scene graphs, to improve contextual understanding of the environment. In this paper, we present a hybrid pipeline for semantic mapping. Our system incorporates an external calibrated camera using homography projection for geometric mapping and localization, combined with object detection, persistent object tracking and ontology driven semantic updates to build a dynamic semantic world model. Linear regression models are also used for correction of the estimated values of real world coordinates. The system continuously updates object instances, spatial properties and semantic relations based on real time sensory data. Ontologies are selected as form of knowledge representation due to their hierarchical structure, semantic expressiveness and support for dynamic world modelling.
