Rut detection and following for autonomous ground vehicles

Expert off road drivers have found through experience that ruts formed on soft terrains as a result of vehicular transit can be used to improve vehicle safety and performance. Rut following improves vehicle performance by reducing the energy wasted on compacting the ground as the vehicle traverses over the terrain. Furthermore, proper rut following can improve vehicle safety on turns and slopes...

Low Cost UAV-based Remote Sensing for Autonomous Wildlife Monitoring

In recent years, developments in unmanned aerial vehicles, lightweight on-board computers, and low-cost thermal imaging sensors offer a new opportunity for wildlife monitoring. In contrast with traditional methods now surveying endangered species to obtain population and location has become more cost-effective and least time-consuming. In this paper, a low-cost UAV-based remote sensing platform...

Estimating the Rut Depth by UAV Photogrammetry

The rut formation during forest operations is an undesirable phenomenon. A methodology is being proposed to measure the rut depth distribution of a logging site by photogrammetric point clouds produced by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The methodology includes five processing steps that aim at reducing the noise from the surrounding trees and undergrowth for identifying the trails. A canopy he...

Guiding Strategy based on Laser and Template Matching for Autonomous Vehicles in Greenhouses

This paper presents a guiding strategy for autonomous vehicles working in greenhouses based on laser and vision. It follows the idea of auto-guided vehicles but despite of establishing the desired route on the ground (like auto-guided vehicles), here a mesh of laser emitters are managed to establish the route. In particular, a vision-based algorithm (template matching) is employed to detect the...

Modeling and Intelligent Control System Design for Overtaking Maneuver in Autonomous Vehicles

The purpose of this study is to design an intelligent control system to guide the overtaking maneuver with a higher performance than the existing systems. Unlike the existing models which consider constant values for some of the effective variables of this behavior, in this paper, a neural network model is designed based on the real overtaking data using instantaneous values for variables. A fu...
