High resolution terrain mapping with an autonomous blimp
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the current status of the development of our autonomous blimp project. Details are given on the hardware setup, which is currently almost operational. Some first experimental results on terrain mapping terrain mapping with low altitude stereo imagery are presented and discussed. The approach involves the intregration of several algorithms: stereovision, interest point matching, motion estimation and digital elevation map building.

متن کاملDigital elevation map building from low altitude stereo imagery
This paper presents a method to build ne resolution digital terrain maps, on the basis of a set of low altitude aerial stereovision images. Stereovision images are the only data available: to build a global map, we introduce an algorithm that uses interest point matches between successive images to estimate their relative position. Experimental results are presented and discussed, they show how...
متن کاملContinuous mapping and localization for autonomous navigation in rough terrain using a 3D laser scanner
For autonomous navigation in difficult terrain, such as degraded environments in disaster response scenarios, robots are required to create a map of an unknown environment and to localize within this map. In this paper, we describe our approach to simultaneous localization and mapping that is based on the measurements of a 3D laser-range finder. We aggregate laser-range measurements by register...
متن کاملAutonomous Vision-based Rotorcraft Landing and Accurate Aerial Terrain Mapping in an Unknown Environment
In this report, we present research toward a vision-based landing system for unmanned rotorcraft in unknown terrain that is centered around our Recursive Multi-Frame Planar Parallax algorithm [1] for high-accuracy terrain mapping. We give an in-depth description of the vision system, an overview of our experimental platforms, and both synthetic and experimental terrain mapping results.
