| Sonars and laser range finders are used in mobile robots for obtaining information about distances from the robot to the nearest obstacles. Such sensors are expensive and quite large. Similar information can be obtained from a small monocular camera mounted on the moving robot.
The goal of the thesis is to propose and implement virtual radar for a mobile robot called visual radar. The radar should compute the distances to the nearest obstacles using only pictures from the robot's camera. In a simplified environment, such visual radar can compute the distances from a single static picture [1]. In general, however, two or more pictures taken from moving camera are needed. The proposed visual radar will be implemented as a node in Robot Operating System [2] and evaluated in a simulated environment. |
