Abstract

The paper presents a procedure for collision-free guidance of autonomous mobile platforms through unknown environments. |Stereovision images are used to determine and keep track of an obstacle map, which provides a basis for path-planning The main problem that has to be solved in obstacle map derivation is elimination of artifacts resulting from depth estimation. We propose a two-step artifact filtering procedure, which exploits both withinframe spatial correlations as well as temporal, between-frame correlations to do this task. Experiment results prove efficiency of the adopted approach for platform operation in real environments, where both static and moving obstacles are present.
