Real Time Stereo Based Obstacle Detection for UAV Threat Avoidance
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system for UAV obstacle detection on embedded hardware based on Sarnoff Corp's Acadia I vision processor for 23Hz 640x480 binocular stereo and 10Hz mincut based recursive bipartition of an affinity graph. We briefly describe the system architecture, followed by performance results on simulated imagery, indoor and outdoor imagery, and flight experiments.

Obstacle Detection and Avoidance System Based on Monocular Camera and Size Expansion Algorithm for UAVs
One of the most challenging problems in the domain of autonomous aerial vehicles is the designing of a robust real-time obstacle detection and avoidance system. This problem is complex, especially for the micro and small aerial vehicles, that is due to the Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) constraints. Therefore, using lightweight sensors (i.e., Digital camera) can be the best choice comparing with...
متن کاملHigh-speed autonomous obstacle avoidance with pushbroom stereo
We present the design and implementation of a small autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle capable of high-speed flight through complex natural environments. Using only onboard GPS-denied sensing and computation, we perform obstacle detection, planning, and feedback control in realtime. We present a novel integrated approach to perception and control using pushbroom stereo, which exploits forward m...
متن کاملObstacle Detection Technique Using Multi Sensor Integration for Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Achieving a robust obstacle detection system for small UAV is very challenging. Due to size and weight constraints, very limited detection sensors can be equipped in the system. Prior works focused on a single sensing device which is either camera or range sensors based. However, these sensors have their own advantages and disadvantages in detecting the appearance of the obstacles. In this pape...
متن کاملA New Obstacle Avoidance Method based on Biped Robot
Currently, in order to avoid obstacle, most robots will choose a new path. This paper proposed a new obstacle avoidance method for biped robots. When lower obstacle exists in the road, we will calculate the obstacle’s three-dimensional information instead of using the traditional method of re-select the path, so that the biped robot will avoid obstacles successfully by crossing the obstacle. In...
متن کاملA Novel Stereo based Obstacle Avoidance System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
The use of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been on the rise. They are used to replace an ever-increasing amount of labor. There is a need for unmanned aerial systems to operate safely in the environment around them. The work in this paper aims at creating an obstacle avoidance system using Stereo Vision. The work uses standard block matching algorithms. OpenCV and the KTTI Vision B...
