Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point served as...

This study introduces a novel curb detection method for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) using 2D laser data. The approach robustly identifies curbs in dynamic environments, enhancing autonomous navigation safety.

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Computer Vision
  • Autonomous Systems

Background:

  • Environment perception is crucial for Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) operations.
  • Accurate curb detection is a key challenge in semi-structured and dynamic environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust curb detection method for UGVs using 2D laser range finder data.
  • To address challenges posed by dynamic environments and moving objects.

Main Methods:

  • Building a local Digital Elevation Map (DEM) from sequential laser and vehicle state data.
  • Employing a probabilistic moving object deletion approach.
  • Extracting curb candidate points based on vehicle motion.
  • Utilizing Hough transform for straight curbs and multi-model RANSAC for curved curbs.
