A landmark initialization method that relies on the Plücker coordinates to represent a 3D line is introduced: a Gaussian sum approximates the feature initial state and is updated as new observations are gathered by the camera. Once initialized, the landmarks state is estimated along an EKF-based SLAM approach: constraints associated with the Plücker representation are considered during the update step of the Kalman filter. The whole SLAM algorithm is validated in simulation runs and results obtained with real data are presented %U http://homepages.laas.fr/simon/publis/LEMAIRE-ICRA-2007.pdf %8 April %D 2007 %K slam
