SWITCHER: A Stereo Algorithm for Ground Plane Obstacle Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an algorithm, called SWITCHER, for analysing stereo images for the purposes of vehicle obstacle detection. The algorithm has been developed as part of a project whose overall aim is the demonstration of a stereo vision system capable of warning the driver, human or automaton, of obstacles in the path of the vehicle that constitute a potential hazard given the current vehicle trajectory. It is assumed that the terrain over which the vehicle is travelling is a reasonably even surface, such as a path, road or factory floor.

Ground Plane Obstacle Detection of Stereo Vision under Variable Camera Geometry Using Neural Nets
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 th...
متن کاملA Robust and Efficient Homography Based Approach for Ground Plane Detection
This paper presents a homography based ground plane detection method. The method is developed as a part of stereo vision based obstacle detection technique for the visually impaired people. The method assumes the presence of a texture dominant ground plane in the lower portion of the scene, which is not severe restriction in a real world. SIFT algorithm is used to extract features in the stereo...
متن کاملStereo Vision-Based Obstacle Detection for Partially Sighted People
Obstacle avoidance is a major requirement for any technological aid aimed at helping partially sighted (TAPS) people to navigate safely. In this paper, a stereo vision-based algorithm (Ground Plane Obstacle Detection) is extended to detect small obstacles for TAPS using RANSAC dynamic recalibration and Kalman Filtering. Obstacle detection and false alarm are investigated probabilistically. Furt...
متن کاملGround 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...
متن کاملAn Omnidirectional Stereo System for Logistic Plants. Part 2: Stereo Reconstruction and Obstacle Detection Using Digital Elevation Maps
This work presents a fisheye lens based omnidirectional stereo sensor. The sensor is installed on the top of an automated forklift. In the first part of our work we have already presented the system overview, the fisheye lenses description and their calibration. The multi-channel rectification led to three pairs of perspective stereo images. By means of a standard reconstruction engine, three d...
