Texture Analysis: A Technique for Autonomous Lawnmower Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mowing a lawn can be a difficult and tedious chore. The goal of this paper is to introduce the idea of using the visual property of texture to design an autonomous lawnmower robot that mows a lawn similar to how a human would (in some type of pattern.) Previous autonomous lawnmowers that have been designed, the LawnNibbler and LawnShark for example, rely on the principle of randomness to mow in a confined area. While this method will work, it will take an extraordinary amount of time. This paper first presents an overview of texture segmentation and then the wavelet transform is introduced. Texture analysis will be accomplished by use of the wavelet transform. The current state and future research of this project are then presented.

متن کاملTerrain Classification for Traversability Analysis for Autonomous Robot Navigation in Unknown Natural Terrain
Autonomous robot navigation in unknown natural terrain is the key requirement of a robotic system such as a rover as the natural terrain is unpredictable. For safe and robust navigation a robot must possess onboard intelligence to perceive the terrain ahead so that it can avoid hazardous areas by discriminating the navigable regions for traversal thereby optimizing its speed and increasing its ...
