Depth Estimation for Mobile Robot Using Single Omnidirectional Camera System
نویسنده
چکیده
Described here is a new method for depth estimation using a single omnidirectional visual sensor embedded on an autonomous mobile robot. This work is part of an on-going research project to study the visual guidance of autonomous robots. The method is based on a vertically aligned omnistereo configuration and laws of reflection applied on a geometric optics field. The proposed system yields a compact and costeffective solution. Experimental results are satisfactory.

متن کاملA nonparametric learning approach to range sensing from omnidirectional vision
We present a novel approach to estimating depth from single omnidirectional camera images by learning the relationship between visual features and range measurements available during a training phase. Our model not only yields the most likely distance to obstacles in all directions, but also the predictive uncertainties for these estimates. This information can be utilized by a mobile robot to ...

This paper proposes a new method for interest region matching in omnidirectional images, which uses virtual perspective camera planes. Perspective views are generated for each detected region depending on the region properties. This removes the distortions from the omnidirectional imaging device and enables the use of state-of-the-art wide-baseline algorithms designed for perspective cameras. W...

متن کاملPath Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot
In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...
