Stereo Vision Fusion

We have developed a stereo vision system for use on our mobile tank robot, the ATR 6000. The system supplements the current touch sensors and ultrasonic array. Vision provides information which will improve robot path planning, navigation, and object detection.

Research is being done on the integration of the stereo camera system with the current sensor suite on the ATR 6000 to enhance its navigational capabilities. Multi-dimensional data fusion provides the theoretical basis for this practical endeavor.

While stereo vision and methods of solving the correspondence problem have been studied in-depth, there exists a growing body of optimization techniques which can solve the correspondence problem. Our study focuses on these techniques.
