In many agricultural robotic applications, the robotic vehicle must detect obstacles in its way
in order to navigate correctly. This is also true for robotic spray vehicles that autonomously …

An accurate method to detect obstacles and dangerous areas is the key to the safe
performance of autonomous robots. Time of flight sensors can report their existence through …

Kinect for Xbox 360 is a low-cost controller-free device originally designed for gaming and
entertainment experience by Microsoft Corporation. This device is equipped with one IR …

Any robot that is to drive autonomously must be able to detect and avoid obstacles that it
might encounter. Traditionally, this problem has been solved using systems of one or more …

In this paper, an obstacle detection system for field applications is presented which relies on
the output of a stereo vision camera. In a first step, it splits the point cloud into cells which are …

Mobile robots designed for agricultural tasks need to deal with challenging outdoor
unstructured environments that usually have dynamic and static obstacles. This assumption …

This paper describes a vision‐based obstacle detection and navigation system for use as
part of a robotic solution for the sustainable intensification of broad‐acre agriculture. To be …

This paper proposes that pathfinding for mobile robots, in unknown environment, be based
on extracting 3D features of an object using 2D image edge detection and infrared (IR) …

Computer vision provides local environmental information for robotic navigation in crop
fields. It is particularly useful for robots operating under canopies of tall plants such as corns …

This paper presents a new vision-based obstacle detection method for mobile robots. Each
individual image pixel is classified as belonging either to an obstacle or the ground based …
