Robust Obstacle Detection Based on Dense Disparity Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Obstacle detection is an important component for many autonomous vehicle navigation systems. Several methods for obstacle detection have been proposed using various active sensors such as radar, sonar and laser range finders. Vision based techniques have the advantage of low cost and provide a large amount of information about the environment around an intelligent vehicle. This paper deals with the development of an accurate and efficient vision based obstacle detection method which relies on a wavelet analysis. The development system will be integrated on the Cybercar platform which is a road vehicle with fully automated driving capabilities [1].

Connexity based fronto-parallel plane detection for stereovision obstacle segmentation
Progress in hardware makes it possible to compute dense disparity maps in real-time. This work describes a suitable obstacle segmentation method for these dense disparity maps. The method analyses the connexity of the disparity map in order to extract fronto-parallel planes by means of a suitable depth constraint. This pragmatic geometrical approach reduces the number of detection parameters. A...

In this paper, we present a cooperative stereo vision algorithm with three cameras for dense disparity mapping and occlusion detection. Based on nonlinear iteration and multiple cameras, the disparity maps are smooth and the object boundaries are accurate. Occlusions for each stereo pair are detected effectively by examining the iterative inhibition and magnification of the matching evaluation....

متن کاملObstacle detection using trinocular stereo cameras without a disparity map
We propose an obstacle detection method based on trinocular stereo vision which consist of vertical and horizontal stereo cameras. Vertical edges and horizontal edges are extracted from horizontal stereo images and vertical stereo images. Then the edges are used to generate U-V-disparity maps. A rectangular obstacle has a characteristic that it is represented as a vertical line in V-disparity m...
