Obstacle Avoidance in Cluttered Environments using Optic Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous navigation of a flying vehicle in a cluttered environment has been simulated to demonstrate novel yet simple techniques for avoiding obstacles using optic flow and image loom signals whilst successfully navigating a vehicle towards a goal. The simulation makes use of simulated flow fields calculated on cameras looking downwards, forwards, rearwards and sidewards. This computation could be carried out using a single processor networked with multiple remote cameras or using separate optic flow sensors oriented in each direction.

A H∞ loopshaping approach for autonomous bio-inspired visual navigation in three-dimensional urban environments
The insect visuomotor system combines a lightweight and high bandwidth sensor with fast processing algorithms for efficient information extraction that enables autonomous navigation in complex, obstacle laden environments. In this paper, an H∞ loop shaping controller synthesis framework is introduced to analyze an information extraction approach from patterns of optic flow based on analogs of w...
متن کاملOptic flow contribution to locomotion adjustments in obstacle avoidance.
Locomotion generates a visual movement pattern characterized as optic flow. To explore how the locomotor adjustments are affected by this pattern, an experimental paradigm was developed to eliminate optic flow during obstacle avoidance. The aim was to investigate the contribution of optic flow in obstacle avoidance by using a stroboscopic lamp. Ten young adults walked on an 8m pathway and stepp...
متن کاملA neural model of visually guided steering, obstacle avoidance, and route selection.
A neural model is developed to explain how humans can approach a goal object on foot while steering around obstacles to avoid collisions in a cluttered environment. The model uses optic flow from a 3-dimensional virtual reality environment to determine the position of objects on the basis of motion discontinuities and computes heading direction, or the direction of self-motion, from global opti...

This paper describes the Clpplication of a model of operant conditioning to the prohlcrn of obstacle avoidance \Vith a wheeled mobile robot. The main characteristic of the 8pplicd model is that the robot learns to avoid obstacles through a learning-by-doing cycle without external supervision. A series of ultrasonic sensors aetas Conditioned Stimuli (CS), while collisions act as an Unconditioned...
