Far-field terrain evaluation using geometric and toposemantic vision
Workshop Paper, 8th ESA Workshop on Advanced Space Technologies for Robotics and Automation (ASTRA '04), November, 2004
Abstract
In this paper, we describe how passive vision can be used to improve far-field navigation of planetary rovers, especially for detecting negative obstacles such as cliff edges, ditches, and escarpments. Far-field navigation fills the gap between close-up sensing for obstacle avoidance and satellite imagery. In particular, we can identify dangerous and/or interesting areas in distant terrain by processing color camera images.
