Abstract This paper proposes a method to use the omnidirectional camera as a rangefinder by using color detection. The omnicam rangefinder has been tested in USARSim for its accuracy and for its practical use to build maps of the environment. The results of the test shows that an omnidirectional camera can be used to accurately estimate distances to obstacles and to create maps of unknown environment.
