Visual-based Obstacle Detection a Purposive Approach Using the Normal Ow
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a reeex-type behaviour for visual obstacle detection for mobile robots. The main assumption that is made, is that the robot is moving on a ground plane. For the speciic purpose of obstacle detection, it is then possible to design a simpliied vision system that can successfully solve the problem in hand. Under this purposive approach, there is no need to perform any reconstruction of the environment and the system shows a robust performance and is running on simple hardware. The method uses the normal ow information as the input. There is no eeort made in the sense of recovering both components of the optical ow.

On the Design of Visual Behaviors for Autonomous Systems
{ We describe a set of visual behaviors developed over the years, in the general context of robot navigation. The rst set of behaviors solve three basic problems in vehicle navigation: obstacle avoidance, docking to a surface and moving along corridors or walls. Another set of visual behaviors were developed for the active stereo head Medusa, with the purpose of tracking objects with arbitrary ...
متن کاملUncalibrated Obstacle Detection using Normal
This paper addresses the problem of obstacle detection for mobile robots, using visual information provided by a single on-board camera, as the input. The method proposed, assumes that the robot is moving on a planar pavement, and any point lying outside this plane is considered to be an obstacle. The problem of obstacle detection is addressed by exploiting the geometric arrangement between the...
متن کاملDynamic Obstacle Detection Through Cooperation of Purposive Visual Modules of Color, Stereo, and Motion
In this paper we present a new framework for detection of dynamic obstacles in tire unstructured outdoor road environment by purposively irttegmting binocular color image sequence. In our system, color image segmentation, stereo obstacle detection, visual egomotion estirnation,and moving object analysis, are all built-in task-oriented modules and hence are eficient and robust. Most of these fun...
متن کاملFast Visual Detection of Changes in 3D Motion
A method is proposed for the fast detection of objects that maneuver in the visual eld of a monocular observer. Such cases are common in natural environments where the 3D motion parameters of certain objects (e.g. animals) change considerably over time. The approach taken conforms with the theory of purposive vision, according to which vision algorithms should solve many, speci c problems under...
متن کاملAn Insect Inspired Visual Sensor for the AutonomousNavigation of a Mobile
This paper deals with the autonomous navigation of a mobile robot equipped with an insect-like visual sensor. The design of the sensor is based on models derived from the insect compound eyes that use optical ow information for navigation purposes. Restricting navigation to the ground-plane, we design a 1D panoramic sensor that performs parallel image processing and calculates local components ...
