Detection of Small Obstacles at Long Range Using Multibaseline Stereo
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a multibaseline stereo technique specially suited to detecting obstacles. First, we describe traditional multibaseline stereo and explain why it is not suitable for obstacle detection. This analysis leads directly to a suitable method. Then we describe the obstacle detection system that we have built. Finally, we show results from our system for a variety of different obstacles under different lighting conditions. Keywords— Obstacle detection, Trinocular stereo, Automated Highway Systems, Multibaseline stereo.

A Specialized Multibaseline Stereo Technique for Obstacle Detection
This paper presents a multibaseline stereo technique specially suited to detecting obstacles. A method is described for weakly calibrating a set of multibaseline stereo cameras with high accuracy. This method is then used to tailor the stereo search space to the special case where the world in front of the cameras consists mainly of nearly horizontal planar surfaces (the ground), where we are i...
متن کاملHigh-Speed Obstacle Detection for Automated Highway Applications Thesis Proposal
Highway obstacle detection is a challenging problem. Highways present an unknown and dynamic environment with real-time constraints. In addition, the high speeds of travel force a system to detect objects at long ranges. Although there are a number of methods that can successfully detect moving vehicles, the more difficult problem of finding small, static road debris such as tires or crates rem...
متن کاملA Trinocular Stereo System for Highway Obstacle Detection
This paper presents a trinocular stereo algorithm that we have developed as part of an obstacle detection system that detects smaN obstacles at long range on the highway. We describe the stages of the stereo algorithm itseg and the reasons behind the design decisions that were made. This is followed by a description of the obstacle detection system that we have built. FinaIly, we show results f...
متن کاملAn Advanced Stereo Vision Based Obstacle Detection with a Robust Shadow Removal Technique
This paper presents a robust method to detect obstacles in stereo images using shadow removal technique and color information. Stereo vision based obstacle detection is an algorithm that aims to detect and compute obstacle depth using stereo matching and disparity map. The proposed advanced method is divided into three phases, the first phase is detecting obstacles and removing shadows, the sec...
متن کاملStereo-based all-terrain obstacle detection using visual saliency
This paper proposes a hybridisation of two well-known stereo-based obstacle detection techniques for all-terrain environments. While one of the techniques is employed for the detection of large obstacles, the other is used for the detection of small ones. This combination of techniques opportunistically exploits their complementary properties to reduce computation and improve detection accuracy...
