Developing autonomous vehicles capable of dealing with complex and dynamic unstructured environments over large-scale distances, remains a challenging goal. One of the major difficulties in this objective is the precise localization of the vehicle within its environment so that autonomous navigation techniques can be employed. In this context,...
This paper presents a novel approach to self calibrate the extrinsic parameters of a camera mounted on a mobile robot in the context of fusion with the odometry sensor. Calibrating precisely such system can be difficult if the camera is mounted on a vehicule where the frame is difficult to localize precisely (like on a car for example)....
The development of the Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) with urban applications are now possible due to the recent solutions (DARPA Grand Challenge) developed to solve the Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) problem: perception, path planning and control. For the last decade, the introduction of GPS systems and vision have been...
