Abstract

Traditionally obstacles detection is a great topic in computer vision applied to robotics navigation or advance driver assistance system (ADAS). Although other technologies, such as laser, obtain good results to detect obstacles in different environments, stereo vision has the advantage of providing 3D information, improving the knowledge of the environment. A study of the implementation of the u-v disparity in urban environments is presented in this paper, where several tests have been done in different situations which may be difficult to interpret by using a straightforward analysis of the u-v disparity in order to model the environment.
