Obstacle detectability of ultrasonic ranging system and sonar map understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information obtained by the ultrasonic sensor is influenced by the characteristics of the sensing system such as sensitivity, directivity and so on. In order to investigate its influence, we constructed two ultrasonic ranging systems of which characteristics differs from each other and examined their performance such as obstacle detectability and resultant sonar map.

Using Coded Signals to Benefit from Ultrasonic Sensor Crosstalk in Mobile Robot Obstacle Avoidance
Crosstalk is a common problem occurring with arrays of multiple ultrasonic sensors (sonars) in obstacle detection and avoidance systems. This paper presents a novel method that might allow the use of data generated by crosstalk to generate more reliable and accurate object detection. This is accomplished by assigning a unique code to the signals emitted by each sonar, so that the source sonar c...
متن کاملThe sonar ring: Obstacle detection for a mobile robot
Ultrasonic pulse-echo devices have shown utility for obstacle detection in numerous mobile robot research eflorts, as well as in commercial automatic guided vehicles (AGVs). A method for quickly obtaining multiple sonar range readings is presented. Thirty ultrasonic transducers are arranged in a ring and controlled by a computer. The system is predominantly composed of commercially available pa...
متن کاملA Simplified Fuzzy-Logic Control System Approach to Obstacle Avoidance combining Stereoscopic Vision and Sonar
Stereoscopic vision is a technique for calculating the depths of objects in a scene from two images. Ultrasonic ranging is a well-established technique for estimating the distance to objects by bouncing an acoustic pulse off the object and measuring the time-of-flight. As with any types of sensors, these techniques each have their associated strengths and weaknesses. Therefore it is desirable t...

This paper proposes a novel ultrasonic ranging method using discrete chaotic phase modulated (CPM) signal. As the driving signal of the ultrasonic transducer, the CPM signal shows the property of sharp autocorrelation and flat cross-correlation, even when its length is kept short, which is very important to improving efficiency. The proposed method can provide high-precision measurement and is ...

In this article, visual data obtained by a binocular active vision system is integrated, together with ultrasonic range measurements, in the development of an obstacle detection and avoidance system based on a connectionist grid. This grid based framework allows the integration of two different sensing modalities (vision and sonar) in a way that incoming sensorial data can be mutually enhanced ...
