Vision Assisted Laser Scanner Navigation for Autonomous Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a navigation method based on road detection using both a laser scanner and a vision sensor. The method is to classify the surface in front of the robot into traversable segments (road) and obstacles using the laser scanner, this classifies the area just in front of the robot (2.5m). The front looking camera is used to classify the road from this distance and forward, taking a seed area from the laser scanner data and from this estimate the outline of the visible part of the road. The method has been tested successfully on gravelled and asphalt roads in a national park environment.

Autonomous robots are intelligent machines that are able to perform desired tasks by themselves, without any human intervention. Obstacle avoidance is a primary requirement for any autonomous mobile robot. It prevents the mobile robot from collision. The robot acquires information about its surroundings through camera mounted on the robot. The obstacle detection for the mobile robot is carried ...
