Monocular Detection and Estimation of Moving Obstacles for Robot Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The detection of motion and moving objects or persons with stationary monocular cameras has been extensively studied. However, those techniques fail if the camera is moving itself. In this paper, we present a method for detecting and estimating the position of moving objects using a monocular camera that is mounted in front of a mobile robot platform. The position estimates are used for obstacle avoidance and robot navigation. We apply image warping to compensate the egomotion of the camera. This allows us to use standard techniques for motion detection. The final position and velocity estimates are obtained using Extended Kalman Filters. Combined with a monocular scene reconstruction our approach allows the robust detection and avoidance of both static and moving obstacles by using a single monocular camera as the only sensor.

متن کاملA New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space
In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...

Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...

In this paper, we present a feature based approach for monocular scene reconstruction based on extended Kalman filters (EKF). Our method processes a sequence of images taken by a single camera mounted frontal on a mobile robot. Using different techniques, we are able to produce a precise reconstruction that is free from outliers and therefore can be used for reliable obstacle detection. In real...
