Ego-Motion Computing for Vehicle Velocity Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a method for computing velocity using a single camera onboard a road vehicle, i.e. an automobile. The use of computer vision provides a reliable method to measure vehicle velocity based on egomotion computation. By doing so, cumulative errors inherent to odometrybased systems can be reduced to some extent. Road lane markings are the basic features used by the algorithm. They are detected in the image plane and grouped in couples in order to provide geometrically constrained vectors that make viable the computation of vehicle motion in a sequence of images. The applications of this method can be mainly found in the domains of Robotics and Intelligent Vehicles.

متن کاملTransforming Camera Geometry to A Virtual Downward-Looking Camera: Robust Ego-Motion Estimation and Ground-Layer Detection
This paper presents a robust method to solve the two coupled problems: ground layer detection and vehicle egomotion estimation, which appear in visual navigation. We virtually rotate the camera to the downward-looking pose in order to exploit the fact that the vehicle motion is roughly constrained to be planar motion on the ground. This camera geometry transformation, together with planar motio...
متن کاملEgo-Motion Estimation and Collision Detection for Omnidirectional Robots
We propose an algorithm to estimate the ego-motion of an omnidirectional robot based on a sequence of position estimates. Thereto, we derive a motion model for omnidirectional robots and an estimation procedure to fit the model to observed positions. Additionally, we show how we can benefit from the velocity estimates deriving an algorithm that recognizes situations in which a robot is blocked ...
متن کاملCalculation of lateral velocity estimation and error discrimination for railway wheelset to avoid sliding
Lateral velocity has very backbone position in the railway vehicle wheelset dynamics as it usually becomes cause of derailment by sliding due to insufficient adhesion ratio. This impropriate balance is pretext owing to contamination and weather procures the disturbances. This perturbation makes hindrances in proper running of wheelset on track. To analyze the noise, Kalman filter is used based ...
متن کاملLanding an Unmanned Air Vehicle: Vision Based Motion Estimation and Nonlinear Control
In this paper, we use computer vision as a feedback sensor in a control loop for landing an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) on a landing pad. The vision problem we address here is then a special case of the classic ego-motion estimation problem since all feature points lie on a planar surface (the landing pad). We study together the discrete and differential versions of the ego-motion estimation, in...
