VideoTrek: A Vision System for a Tag-Alone Robot
We present a system that combines multiple visual navigation techniques to achieve GPS-denied, non-line-of-sight SLAM capability for heterogeneous platforms.
-
Real-Time Vehicle Detection for Highway Driving
We present a new multi-stage algorithm for car and truck detection from a moving vehicle. The algorithm performs a search for pertinent features in three dimensions, guided by a ground…
