Robust and quick road curb detection under various situations is critical in developing intelligent vehicles. However, the road curb detection is easily affected by the obstacles in the road area when Lidar based method is applied. A practical road curb detection method using point cloud from a three-dimensional Lidar for autonomous vehicle is reported in this paper. First, a multi-feature, loo...

This paper describes a method for non-rigid registration of a model template with the corresponding anatomic structure in a radiologic image. The model template is a graph consisting of labeled nodes and edges. Each node is labeled by a feature vector that characterizes the sought structures in its vicinity. The edges connect the nodes in accordance with anatomical topology. The features which ...

Computer Vision based autonomous robot navigation has caught the attention of many researchers because of its huge potential in various industrial and social applications. This paper focuses on various approaches used to detect road region which is fundamental requirement in applications like intelligent vehicles, lane detection and tracking and driver assistance systems. Broadly speaking techn...

Aerial and satellite images are information rich. They are also complex to analyze. For GIS systems, many features require fast and reliable extraction of roads and intersections. In this paper, we study efficient and reliable automatic extraction algorithms to address some difficult issues that are commonly seen in high resolution aerial and satellite images, nonetheless not well addressed in ...

This paper presents a data mining methodology for driving condition monitoring via CAN-bus data that is based on the general data mining process. The approach is applicable to many driving condition problems and the example of road type classification without the use of location information is investigated. Location information from Global Positioning Satellites and related map data are often n...

Road information is fundamental not only in the military field but also common daily living. Automatic road extraction from a remote sensing images can provide references for city planning as well as transportation database and map updating. However, owing to the spectral similarity between roads and impervious structures, the current methods solely using spectral characteristics are often inef...
