Intelligent Vision Systems for Landmark-Based Vehicle Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Navigation is the process of planning, recording, and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another. Navigating a vehicle in dynamic environment is one of the most demanding activities for drivers in daily life. American people drive 12,000 miles per year in average. Studies have long identified the difficulties that drivers have in planning and following efficient routes (King, 1986). A vehicle navigation system (also termed route guidance system) is usually a satellite navigation system designed for use in vehicles. Most systems AbsTRACT

A Vision-Based Guidance System for UAV Navigation and Safe Landing using Natural Landmarks
In this paper a vision-based approach for guidance and safe landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is proposed. The UAV is required to navigate from an initial to a final position in a partially known environment. The guidance system allows a remote user to define target areas from a high resolution aerial or satellite image to determine either the waypoints of the navigation trajectory or...
متن کاملMultimedia Technologies for Landmark-Based Vehicle Navigation
Most existing Global Positioning System (GPS)-based vehicle navigation systems (also termed route guidance systems) utilize distance within their turn-by-turn navigation directions. For example, a system might give a voice instruction like ”turn left in 0.2 mile”. However, human drivers usually use landmarks to help their navigation. Some previous research has shown that there are performance-r...
متن کاملUav Visual Autolocalizaton Based on Automatic Landmark Recognition
Deploying an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle in GPS-denied areas is a highly discussed problem in the scientific community. There are several approaches being developed, but the main strategies yet considered are computer vision based navigation systems. This work presents a new real-time computer-vision position estimator for UAV navigation. The estimator uses images captured during flight ...
متن کاملLocation estimation for indoor autonomous vehicle navigation by omni-directional vision using circular landmarks on ceilings
A novel approach to location estimation by omni-directional vision for autonomous vehicle navigation in indoor environments using circular landmark information is proposed. A circular-shaped landmark is attached on a ceiling and an omni-directional camera is equipped on a vehicle to take upwardlooking omni-directional images of the landmark. This way of image taking reduces possible landmark sh...
متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
