Accurate and real-time traversable region detection is of great significance to the navigation
of mobile robots. In Comparison with lasers and radars, stereo vision can provide richer …

This paper presents a sensor fusion model developed for the 2005 Grand Challenge
competition, an autonomous ground vehicle race across the Mojave desert organized by …

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) deployed in an outdoor environment, obstacles may
occur as a result of a non-uniform distribution of the sensor nodes or the presence of …

One of the issues in autonomous navigation is the free space estimation. This paper
presents an original framework and a method for the extraction of such an area by using a …

This paper presents a disparity calculation algorithm based on stereo-vision for obstacle
detection and free space calculation. This algorithm incorporates line segmentation, multi …

The car owner support system, which promotes driver security and prevents vehicle
accidents on the road, is one of the most crucial elements of modern cars. Every single …

Countless applications today are using mobile robots, including autonomous navigation,
