The near future will see production vehicles equipped with intelligent Advanced Driving Systems using various sensor modalities. Meanwhile, other aspects such as Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications have emerged as means of assisting drivers. We propose a framework (V2Eye) in which V2V augments and extends the range of visual sensors in ways that have yet to be explored.
This paper describes a real-time stereo vision sensor based on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). It was developed using an image matching algorithm called Orientation Code Matching (OCM). Our implementation, using OCM, provides not only high performance, but also flexibility and a greater robustness, all of which are necessary to embed vision sensors in mobile robots and vehicles. The prototype...
In this paper, for an ego-motion estimating problem of mobile robot, we propose a plug and play ego-motion estimator that a user can freely select the sensor type and flexibly install the sensor. In this algorithm, each sensor is dealt with a sensor unit that has some computing equipment, and each sensor unit estimates the ego-motion and the sensor parameter. Moreover, the sensor units are connected...
The next generation advanced video guidance sensor (NGAVGS) has been under development for the last three years as a long-range proximity operations and docking sensor for use in an Automated Rendezvous and Docking (AR&D) system. The first autonomous rendezvous and docking in the history of the U.S. Space Program was successfully accomplished by Orbital Express, using the Advanced Video Guidance...
In network based operations (NbO), critical decisions can be optimised thanks to a better information sharing between commanders. The Phoenix 2007 experimentation applies the NbO concept to the platoon level. The experimentation introduces collaborative services for video sharing and decision making in order to cope with urban area, tactical mobility and uncertain environment. They open new spectrum...
We present a system for monocular simultaneous localization and mapping (mono-SLAM) relying solely on video input. Our algorithm makes it possible to precisely estimate the camera trajectory without relying on any motion model. The estimation is completely incremental: at a given time frame, only the current location is estimated while the previous camera positions are never modified. In particular,...
Substantial progress in signal and sensed data analysis has been made over the past two decades, albeit with a few operational restrictions constraining user expectations of the technology. These capabilities are much more powerful when placed within a network of sensors that are able to extract data at multiple locations and inter-relate that data in meaningful ways to support a multitude of applications...
Despite precise relative positioning performance of a differential GPS based navigation system, it requires the reference station in close boundaries and is likely to be affected by satellite observation environments. In this background, this paper presents an INS and vision sensor integrated system, which uses a combination of feature points and the landmark whose position is preliminarily known...
