This article presents a novel method to the utilize topological representation of a path, thatpath that is created from sequences of images from digital cameras and sensor data from range sensors. A topological representation of the environment is created by leading the robot around the environment during a familiarisation phaseLeading the robot around the environment during a familiarisation phase creates a topological representation of the environment. While moving down the same path, the robot is able to localise itself within the topological representation that is has been previously created. The principal contribution to the state of the art is that, by using a topological representation of the environment, individual 3D data sets acquired from a set of range sensors need not be registered in a single, [Global] Coordinate Reference System. Instead, 3D point clouds for small sections of the environment are indexed to a sequence of multi-sensor views, of images and range data. Such a registration procedure can be useful in the construction of 3D representations of large environments and in the detection of changes that might occur within these environments.
