A Monocular Ground Plane Estimation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design of a system for estimating the pose of a camera mounted on a vehicle which moves over a flat floor. The system has been designed to work in conjunction with an obstacle avoidance scheme. Measurements are derived from a sequence of images captured by a single camera rigidly mounted on the vehicle and looking at the floor, and combined with measurements of the vehicle position in an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The filter is tested using simulation data.

A Framework for Deformation Estimation of Elastic Bodies from Monocular Images
This paper introduces a method to estimate deformation of elastic bodies using monocular camera images. As this issue is originally an ill-posed problem, sparse constraints are used in the objective function. Using a motion capture system, estimation performance is evaluated by the ground truth deformation of a rubber object. The results show that 12 patterns of elastic deformation by a pull of...
متن کاملExploiting Attitude Sensing in Vision-Based Navigation for an Airship
An Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) is used to compensate for rotational motion, facilitating vision-based navigation above smooth terrain by generating virtual images to simulate pure translation movement. The AHRS combines inertial and earth field magnetic sensors to provide absolute orientation measurements, and our recently developed calibration routine determines the rotation betwe...
متن کاملRobust Monocular Visual Teach and Repeat Aided by Local Ground Planarity and Color-constant Imagery
Visual Teach and Repeat (VT&R) allows an autonomous vehicle to accurately repeat a previously traversed route using only vision sensors. Most VT&R systems rely on natively three-dimensional (3D) sensors such as stereo cameras for mapping and localization, but many existing mobile robots are equipped with only 2D monocular vision, typically for teleoperation. In this paper, we extend VT&R to the...
متن کاملA Machine Learning Approach to Recovery of Scene Geometry from Images
Recovering the 3D structure of the scene from images yields useful information for tasks such as shape and scene recognition, object detection, or motion planning and object grasping in robotics. In this thesis, we introduce a general machine learning approach called unsupervised CRF learning based on maximizing the conditional likelihood. We describe the application of our machine learning app...
متن کاملCamera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images
In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...
