Abstract— Knowledge of the driving environment is essential for robotic vehicles to comply with traffic rules while autonomously traversing intersections. However, due to limite...
A `Moving Window' scheme for detecting lanes, obstacles and corridor environments from the images captured by a CCD camera in an automobile or mobile robot is proposed. Proce...
— The dangerous and time sensitive nature of a disaster area makes it an ideal application for robotic exploration. Our long term goal is to enable humans, software agents, and a...
