Title
3D Motion Tracking of a Mobile Robot in a Natural Environment
Abstract
This paper presents a vision-based tracking system suitable for autonomous robot vehicle guidance. The system includes a head with three on-board CCD cameras, which can be mounted anywhere on a mobile vehicle. By processing consecutive trinocular sets of precisely aligned and rectified images, the local 3D trajectory of the vehicle in an unstructured environment can be tracked. First, a 3D representation of stable features in the image scene is generated using a stereo algorithm. Next, motion is estimated by trading matched features over time. The motion equation with 6-DOF is then solved using an iterative least squares fit algorithm. Finally, a Kalman filter implementation is used to optimize the world representation of scene features.
