STEREOSCOPIC VISION IN VEHICLE NAVIGATION Behnoush Abdollahi August 5, 2011 Traffic sign (TS) detection and tracking is one of the main tasks of an autonomous vehicle which is addressed in the field of computer vision. An autonomous vehicle must have vision based recognition of the road to follow the rules like every other vehicle on the road. Besides, TS detection and tracking can be used to give feedbacks to the driver. This can significantly increase safety in making driving decisions. For a successful TS detection and tracking changes in weather and lighting conditions should be considered. Also, the camera is in motion, which results in image distortion and motion blur. In this work a fast and robust method is proposed for tracking the stop signs in videos taken with stereoscopic cameras that are mounted on the car. Using camera parameters and the detected sign, the distance between the stop sign and the vehicle is calculated. This calculated distance can be widely used in building visual driver-assistance systems.

A vision based navigation system is a basic tool to provide autonomous operations of unmanned vehicles. For o road navigation that means that the vehicle equipped with a stereo vision system and perhaps a laser ranging device shall be able to maintain a high level of autonomy under various illumination conditions and with little a priori information about the underlying scene. The task becomes ...
متن کاملStereoscopic vision display technology in real-time three-dimensional echocardiography-guided intracardiac beating-heart surgery.
OBJECTIVE Stereoscopic vision display technology has been shown to be a useful tool in image-guided surgical interventions. However, the concept has not been applied to 3-dimensional echocardiography-guided cardiac procedures. We evaluated stereoscopic vision display as an aid for intracardiac navigation during 3-dimensional echocardiography-guided beating-heart surgery in a model of atrial sep...

The growing demand for applications in Precision Agriculture has been proportional to the emergent interest in automatic guidance of agricultural machines. The difficult, and at the same time strenuous, task of driving a harvester during the prolonged working days of the harvesting season justifies the special attention paid to this technology. The development of Global Navigation Satellite Sys...
متن کاملCalibration of an Inertial Accelerometer using Trained Neural Network by Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm for Vehicle Navigation
The designing of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles needs measurement of dynamical variations of vehicle, such as acceleration, velocity and yaw rate. Designed adaptive controllers to control lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics are based on the measured variables. Inertial MEMS-based sensors have some benefits including low price and low consumption that make them ...
