Stereoscopic Vision for AGV Guidance

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 71))

Abstract

This paper first presents the complete scenario for Autonomously Guided Vehicle (AGV) guidance based on stereoscopic vision. The case of indoor environment is examined in details, and the required operations are further discussed. The concept of logical sensors is followed to address the motion parameter estimation problem as a perception task that can be achieved directly by using stereo — camera data. The mathematics for the operations involved are presented focusing on uncertainty issues associated with the physical and mathematical models used.
