— We present algorithms to detect and precisely localize curbs and stairways for autonomous navigation. These algorithms combine brightness information (in the form of edgels) wi...
Abstract— An image sensor in which each pixel has a processing element is called a vision chip. The vision chip can perform real-time visual processing at a high frame rate of 10...
This paper proposes a Distributed Vision System as a Perceptual Information Infrastructure for robot navigation in a dynamically changing world. The distributed vision system, con...
In this paper, we present a new method for vision-based, reactive robot navigation that enables a robot to move in the middle of the free space by exploiting both central and peri...
Interactive robotics demands real-time visual information about the environment. Real time vision processing, however, places a heavy load on the robot’s limited resources, and m...
