Vehicle Motion Estimation Using an Infrared Camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with vehicle motion estimation. The problem is formulated as a sensor fusion problem, where the vehicle motion is estimated based on the information from a far infrared camera, inertial sensors and the vehicle speed. This information is already present in premium cars. This work is concerned with the off-line situation and the approach taken is to formulate the problem as a nonlinear least squares problem. In order to illustrate the performance of the proposed method experiments on rural roads in Sweden during night time driving have been performed. The results clearly indicates the efficacy of the approach.

Correcting Vehicle Heading in Visual Odometry by Using Image Appearance
This paper describes a visual odometry algorithm for onroad vehicles under planar motion assumption. The algorithm uses as only input images taken by a single omnidirectional camera mounted on the roof of the vehicle. To achieve accurate motion estimation results, we decouple the rotation and translation estimation. In particular, we use a feature based ground plane tracker to estimate the tran...
متن کاملEgo-Motion and Indirect Road Geometry Estimation Using Night Vision, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2894
The sensors present in modern premium cars deliver a wealth of information. We will in this work illustrate one way of making better use of the sensor information already present in modern premium cars. More speci cally, we will show how a far infrared (FIR) camera can be used to enhance the estimates of the vehicle ego-motion and indirectly the road geometry in 3D. The FIR camera is primarily ...
متن کاملVehicle Shape Approximation from Motion for Visual Traffic Surveillance
In this paper, a vehicle shape approximation method based on the vehicle motion in a typical traffic image sequence is proposed. In the proposed method, instead of using the 2D image data directly, the intrinsic 3D data is estimated in a monocular image sequence. Given the binary vehicle mask and the camera parameters, the vehicle shape is estimated by the four stages shape approximation method...
متن کاملVisual Navigation Using a Single Camera
We assess the usefulness of monocular recursive motion estimation techniques for vehicle navigation in the absence of a model for the environment. For this purpose we extend a recently proposed recursive motion estimator, the Essential filter, to handle scale estimation. We examine experimentally the accuracy with which the motion and position of the vehicle may be computed on an 8000 fmmes ind...
متن کاملMinimizing Image Reprojection Error For Relative Scale Estimation In Visual Odometry
In this paper we address the problem of visual motion estimation (visual odometry) from a single vehicle mounted camera. One of the basic issues of visual odometry is relative scale estimation. We propose a method to compute locally optimal relative scales by minimizing the reprojection error using windowed bundle adjustment. We introduce a minimal parameterization of the bundle adjustment prob...
