Computer Vision in Support of Autonomous Capabilities
نویسنده
چکیده
This 3D Vision project aims to demonstrate that a small-scale platform can journey through man-made and natural environments, surviving, navigating, mapping and planning, largely on the basis of passive computer vision. To this end, in our first year of work, we have set up a demonstration platform placing 3D computer vision algorithms in a robotic infrastructure so that we can challenge the computer vision algorithms by using them to support autonomous vehicle capabilities, such as route following and obstacle avoidance. The main elements of this system are now in place. This paper describes the scope of work to date, discusses some related computer vision issues and outlines future plans.

The idea of Fixation introduced a direct method for general recovery of shape and motion from images without using either feature correspondence or optical flow [1,2]. There are some parameters which have important effects on the performance of fixation method. However, the theory of fixation does not say anything about the autonomous and correct choice of those parameters. This paper presents ...

Autonomous landing is a challenging problem for aerial robots. An autonomous landing manoeuver depends largely on two capabilities: the decision of where to land and the generation of control signals to guide the vehicle to a safe landing. We focus on the rst capability here by presenting a strategy and an underlying fast algorithm as the computer vision basis to make a safe landing decision. T...
