Terrain Classification Techniques From Ladar Data For Autonomous Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous navigation remains a considerable challenge, primarily because of the difficulty in describing the environment of the robot in a way that captures the variability of natural environments. In this paper, we focus on the problem of extracting the ground terrain surface from sparse 3-D data from LADAR mobility sensors, including the segmentation of the terrain from obscuring vegetation. In this paper, we briefly review possible approaches to LADAR processing, discuss their limitations, and describe our current approach. Results obtained with the GDRS CTA LADAR are presented

Evaluation and Comparison of Terrain Classification Techniques from LADAR Data for Autonomous Navigation
Autonomous navigation in natural environments remains a considerable challenge, primarily because of the difficulty in describing the environment of the robot in a way that captures the variability of natural environments Error! Reference source not found.. While it is possible – although by no means trivial – to build models of smooth, 3-D terrain, it is much more difficult to deal with areas ...
متن کاملNatural terrain classification using three-dimensional ladar data for ground robot mobility
In recent years, much progress has been made in outdoor autonomous navigation. However, safe navigation is still a daunting challenge in terrain containing vegetation. In this paper, we focus on the segmentation of ladar data into three classes using local three-dimensional point cloud statistics. The classes are: ”scatter” to represent porous volumes such as grass and tree canopy, ”linear” to ...
متن کاملObstacle Detection and Terrain Classification for Autonomous Off-Road Navigation
Autonomous navigation in cross-country environments presents many new challenges with respect to more traditional, urban environments. The lack of highly structured components in the scene complicates the design of even basic functionalities such as obstacle detection. In addition to the geometric description of the scene, terrain typing is also an important component of the perceptual system. ...
متن کاملLearning traversability models for autonomous mobile vehicles
Autonomous mobile robots need to adapt their behavior to the terrain over which they drive, and to predict the traversability of the terrain so that they can effectively plan their paths. Such robots usually make use of a set of sensors to investigate the terrain around them and build up an internal representation that enable them to navigate. This paper addresses the question of how to use sen...
متن کاملIterative Registration of 3D LADAR Data for Autonomous Navigation
This paper describes an iterative algorithm for registration of 3D LADAR data. The proposed approach is iconic in nature with suitable modifications to deal with false/spurious matches, occlusions and outliers. Experimental results using data obtained from field trials on an eXperimental Unmanned Vehicle (XUV) are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the approach. The paper also details ong...
