Inertial navigation sensor integrated motion analysis for obstacle detection
Bir Bhanu, Barry A. Roberts, John Ming · 2002
A maximally passive approach to obstacle detection is described, and the details of an inertial sensor integrated optical flow analysis technique are discussed. The optical flow algorithm has been used to generate range samples using both synthetic data and real data (imagery and inertial navigation system information) obtained from a moving vehicle. The conditions under which the data were created/collected are described, and images illustrating the results of the major steps in the optical flow algorithm are provided.>
