Vehicle location
- Objectives
The goal is locate the vehicle in space (position and orientation) which can be done by finding an axis system
fitted to the vehicle.
- Problem Analysis
Since we deal with a short range image, a lot of information is present. Part of it may
directly and efficiently be extracted by means of image processing (we call it the
salient information). Part of the remaining information may be extracted if we
know what to search and where to search it. That information will be used to get a high level
confidence identification in the second part of the processing schema.
- Salient Information
- Cold/hot blobs
- Straight edges
- Ellipses
- Periodicity (wheels)
- Principal directions
