This paper describes a position estimation algorithms of Wheeled Mobile Robot(WMR) for vision-based navigation in a corridor. We uses the ceiling-lamp as the landmark. At first, we extracts the lamp features using simple image preprocessing, size filter and a variance in binary image. We constitutes the relational functions between a position and rotation of WMR and the slope and distance of lamp using sample images. From the relational functions we estimates the position and rotation of WMR.
