Abstract
The problem to localize transparent glass obstacles using laser range finder is very difficult and still open problem. Most of applications use additional sensor device such as sonar sensor to cope with the transparent glass obstacle environment. This paper deals with that problem only using laser range finder. By the insight from human sensing mechanism which uses the fusion of more data with different view directions or different measurement locations, a novel method to localize transparent glass obstacles is addressed. And, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the real robot experiments with three case studies.
