چکیده

We use a stereo disparity predictor, implemented as layered neural nets in the PILUT architecture, to encode the disparity flow field for the ground plane at various viewing positions over the work space. A deviation of disparity, computed using a correspondence algorithm, from its prediction may then indicate a potential obstacle. A casual bayes net model is used to estimate the probability that a point of interest lies on the ground plane.

Ground Plane Obstacle Detection Under Variable Camera Geometry Using a Predictive Stereo Matcher

A scheme is proposed for ground plane obstacle detection under conditions of variable camera geometry. It uses a predictive stereo matcher implemented in the PILUT architecture described below, in which is encoded the disparity map of the ground plane for the different viewing positions required to scan the work space. The research is the extension of Mallot et al's (1989) scheme for ground pla...

Detection of Dominant Planar Surfaces in Disparity Images Based on Random Sampling

Robots in the near future will be expected to operate autonomously in unstructured environments. In order to reach a required level of autonomy, a highly developed environment perception is necessary. Most mobile robots today are constructed to move in an indoor environment on a flat horizontal surface called herein the . Furthermore, other dominant surfaces in indoor environments, such as wall...

A Stereo Vision Based Obstacle Detection System for Agricultural Applications

In this paper, an obstacle detection system for field applications is presented which relies on the output of a stereo vision camera. In a first step, it splits the point cloud into cells which are analyzed in parallel. Here, features like density and distribution of the points and the normal of a fitted plane are taken into account. Finally, a neighborhood analysis clusters the obstacles and i...

An Integrated Stereo-Based Approach to Automatic Vehicle Guidance

We propose a new approach for vision based longitudinal and lateral vehicle control. The novel feature of this approach is the use of binocular vision. We integrate two modules consisting of a new, domain-speciic, eecient binocular stereo algorithm, and a lane marker detection algorithm, and show that the integration results in a improved performance for each of the modules. Longitudinal contro...

A stereo vision-based aid for the visually impaired

This paper describes a portable vision-based obstacle detection system, intended for use by blind people. The system combines an obstacle detection system designed for AGVs with recalibration of ground position and a Kalman Filter based model of the person’s walking movement. The system uses stereo vision. Obstacle detection is achieved through comparison of the disparity seen with that expecte...
