Book A Novel Fusion Technique for 2D LIDAR and Stereo Camera Data Using Fuzzy Logic for Improved Depth Perception

Download or read book A Novel Fusion Technique for 2D LIDAR and Stereo Camera Data Using Fuzzy Logic for Improved Depth Perception written by Harsh Saksena and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obstacle detection, avoidance and path finding for autonomous vehicles requires precise information of the vehicle's system environment for faultless navigation and decision making. As such vision and depth perception sensors have become an integral part of autonomous vehicles in the current research and development of the autonomous industry. The advancements made in vision sensors such as radars, Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) sensors and compact high resolution cameras is encouraging, however individual sensors can be prone to error and misinformation due to environmental factors such as scene illumination, object reflectivity and object transparency. The application of sensor fusion in a system, by the utilization of multiple sensors perceiving similar or relatable information over a network, is implemented to provide a more robust and complete system information and minimize the overall perceived error of the system. 3D LIDAR and monocular camera are the most commonly utilized vision sensors for the implementation of sensor fusion. 3D LIDARs boast a high accuracy and resolution for depth capturing for any given environment and have a broad range of applications such as terrain mapping and 3D reconstruction. Despite 3D LIDAR being the superior sensor for depth, the high cost and sensitivity to its environment make it a poor choice for mid-range application such as autonomous rovers, RC cars and robots. 2D LIDARs are more affordable, easily available and have a wider range of applications than 3D LIDARs, making them the more obvious choice for budget projects. The primary objective of this thesis is to implement a smart and robust sensor fusion system using 2D LIDAR and a stereo depth camera to capture depth and color information of an environment. The depth points generated by the LIDAR are fused with the depth map generated by the stereo camera by a Fuzzy system that implements smart fusion and corrects any gaps in the depth information of the stereo camera. The use of Fuzzy system for sensor fusion of 2D LIDAR and stereo camera is a novel approach to the sensor fusion problem and the output of the fuzzy fusion provides higher depth confidence than the individual sensors provide. In this thesis, we will explore the multiple layers of sensor and data fusion that have been applied to the vision system, both on the camera and lidar data individually and in relation to each other. We will go into detail regarding the development and implementation of fuzzy logic based fusion approach, the fuzzification of input data and the method of selection of the fuzzy system for depth specific fusion for the given vision system and how fuzzy logic can be utilized to provide information which is vastly more reliable than the information provided by the camera and LIDAR separately.

Book Stereo Vision and LIDAR Based Dynamic Occupancy Grid Mapping

Download or read book Stereo Vision and LIDAR Based Dynamic Occupancy Grid Mapping written by You Li and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligent vehicles require perception systems with high performances. Usually, perception system consists of multiple sensors, such as cameras, 2D/3D lidars or radars. The works presented in this Ph.D thesis concern several topics on cameras and lidar based perception for understanding dynamic scenes in urban environments. The works are composed of four parts.In the first part, a stereo vision based visual odometry is proposed by comparing several different approaches of image feature detection and feature points association. After a comprehensive comparison, a suitable feature detector and a feature points association approach is selected to achieve better performance of stereo visual odometry. In the second part, independent moving objects are detected and segmented by the results of visual odometry and U-disparity image. Then, spatial features are extracted by a kernel-PCA method and classifiers are trained based on these spatial features to recognize different types of common moving objects e.g. pedestrians, vehicles and cyclists. In the third part, an extrinsic calibration method between a 2D lidar and a stereoscopic system is proposed. This method solves the problem of extrinsic calibration by placing a common calibration chessboard in front of the stereoscopic system and 2D lidar, and by considering the geometric relationship between the cameras of the stereoscopic system. This calibration method integrates also sensor noise models and Mahalanobis distance optimization for more robustness. At last, dynamic occupancy grid mapping is proposed by 3D reconstruction of the environment, obtained from stereovision and Lidar data separately and then conjointly. An improved occupancy grid map is obtained by estimating the pitch angle between ground plane and the stereoscopic system. The moving object detection and recognition results (from the first and second parts) are incorporated into the occupancy grid map to augment the semantic meanings. All the proposed and developed methods are tested and evaluated with simulation and real data acquired by the experimental platform “intelligent vehicle SetCar” of IRTES-SET laboratory.
