Feature Detection and Identification Using a Sonar-Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work explores techniques for sonar sensor fusion in the context of environmental feature detection and identification for navigation tasks. By detecting common features in indoor environments and using them as landmarks, a robot can navigate reliably, recovering its pose when necessary. Preliminary results on a multiple hypothesis testing procedure for feature localization and identification show that accurate feature information can be acquired with adequate sonar models and configurations. In addition, a method that associates sonar configuration with the precision of feature extraction is discussed, as well as its utility for guiding an active sonar sensor.

Cyclostationarity for ship detection using passive sonar: progress towards a detection and identification framework
As the blades of a propeller pass through the water they produce characteristic amplitude modulated random noise signals which can be detected using sonar. It has recently been shown that the cyclostationary properties of this signal can be exploited to detect the presence of the propeller craft in significant extraneous noise. A detection technique based on the Cyclic Modulation Spectrum was s...

This paper presents a new Fast Kurtogram Method in the time-frequency domain using novel types of statistical features instead of the kurtosis. For this study, the problem of four classes for Bearing Fault Detection is investigated using various statistical features. This research is conducted in four stages. At first, the stability of each feature for each fault mode is investigated. Then, res...
متن کاملRobot Path Planning Using SIFT and Sonar Sensor Fusion
This paper presents a novel map building approach for path planning purposes, which takes into account the uncertainty inherent in sensor measurements. To this end, Bayesian estimation and Dempster-Shafer evidential theory are used to fuse the sensory information and to update the occupancy and evidential grid maps, respectively. The approach is illustrated using actual measurements from a labo...
