Obstacle detection for high speed autonomous navigation

Abstract

Several schemes are presented for obstacle detection for autonomous vehicles traveling at high speeds (about 5 m/s). In particular, the authors discuss schemes that make a globally flat-world assumption and ignore vehicle pitch motion. They examine methods that relax the above assumptions. In each case the strengths and weaknesses of the solutions proposed are discussed. Experimental and simulation results are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
