Applying Visual Processing to GPS Mapping of Trackside Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes an application of pointwise structure from known motion to assist in the construction of roadside and trackside maps. A single camera is used to record the view from the front of the vehicle, and positional information from an onboard GPS receiver is used to provide the location and orientation of the vehicle. After calibration from known structures, the transformation from world coordinates to image coordinates can be specified for each frame, and multiple views of the same feature, allow the world coordinates of the features to be recovered. Objects must be selected and labelled by hand, but thereafter tracking, recovery and mapping are automated. Examples are given of the recovery and logging of structures along a railway line.

GPS Jamming Detection in UAV Navigation Using Visual Odometry and HOD Trajectory Descriptor
Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...
متن کاملSebastian Thrun and Michael Montemerlo The Graph SLAM Algorithm with Applications to Large - Scale Mapping of Urban Structures
This article presents GraphSLAM, a unifying algorithm for the offline SLAM problem. GraphSLAM is closely related to a recent sequence of research papers on applying optimization techniques to SLAM problems. It transforms the SLAM posterior into a graphical network, representing the log-likelihood of the data. It then reduces this graph using variable elimination techniques, arriving at a lowerd...
متن کاملA New Vision-Based and GPS-Signal-Independent Approach in Jamming Detection and UAV Absolute Positioning Assessment
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) positioning in the outdoor environment is usually done by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Due to the low power of the GPS signal at the earth surface, its performance disrupted in the contaminated environments with the jamming attacks. The UAV positioning and its accuracy using GPS will be degraded in the jamming attacks. A positioning error about tens of...

Introduction: Fundamental notions of mapping hypothesis and canonicity were scrutinized in Persian-speaking aphasics. Methods: To this end, the performance of four age-, education-, and gender matched Persian-speaking Broca's patients and eight matched healthy controls in diverse complex structures were compared via the conduction of two tasks of syntactic comprehension and grammaticality jud...
متن کاملInvestigating Alteration Zone Mapping Using EO-1 Hyperion Imagery and Airborne Geophysics Data
Hyperspectral remote sensing records reflectance or emittance data in a large sum of contiguous and narrow spectral bands, and thus has many information in detecting and mapping the mineral zones. On the other hand, the geological and geophysical data gives us some other fruitful information about the physical characteristics of soil and minerals that have been recorded from the surface. ...
