Visually-Guided Navigation by Comparing Edge Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for navigating a robot from an initial position to a speciied landmark in its visual eld, using a sequence of monocular images. The location of the landmark with respect to the robot is determined based on the change in size and location of the landmark in the image, as a function of the motion of the robot. The change in size and location of the landmark in the image are determined by matching intensity edges in successive frames. The method does not require prior calibration of the camera. We show some examples of the operation of the system.

Standard edge detection algorithms versus conventional auto-contouring used for a three-dimensional rigid CT-CT matching
Background: To reduce uncertainties of patient positioning, the Computerized Tomography (CT) images acquired at the treatment planning time can be compared with those images obtained during radiation dose delivery. This can be followed during dose delivery procedure as Image Guided radiotherapy (IGRT) to verify the prescribed radiation dose delivery to the target as well as to monitor ...

Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. Objective: To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an...
متن کاملAlternating guided image filtering
Edge preserving filters aim to simplify the representation of images (e.g., by reducing noise or eliminating irrelevant detail) while preserving their most significant edges. These filters are typically nonlinear and locally smooth the image structure while minimizing both blurring and over-sharpening of visually important edges. Here we present the Alternating Guided Filter (AGF) that achieves...
متن کاملHIGGINS LABORATORY TECHNICAL REPORT Airborne Visual Navigation using Biomimetic VLSI Vision Chips
Organisms such as bees and flies are superb at visually-guided navigation in real-world environments. We have implemented visual motion processing algorithms inspired by the visual systems of insects in custom analog/digital VLSI vision chips. In this paper we describe the implementation and operation of these algorithms, and discuss how these vision chips may be applied to practical problems o...
متن کاملThe occipital place area represents first-person perspective motion information through scenes.
Neuroimaging studies have identified multiple scene-selective regions in human cortex, but the precise role each region plays in scene processing is not yet clear. It was recently hypothesized that two regions, the occipital place area (OPA) and the retrosplenial complex (RSC), play a direct role in navigation, while a third region, the parahippocampal place area (PPA), does not. Some evidence ...
