STATIC ENVIRONMENT RECOGNITION USING OMNI-CAMERA FROM A MOVING VEHICLE
Discussed is research to develop a sensor system capable of recognizing city area environments from a moving vehicle. A cluttered city area outdoor man-made environment requires different recognition methods from indoor or highway environments. An omni-directional camera and vehicle odometry were developed for better recognition in the total sensing system to estimate geometrical information that was fed back to image processing. This paper provides the first progress report for the research by explaining the study's approach of using omni-camera on a vehicle and setup of a platform. Also shown is an experimental result of two dimensional static environment recognition from a moving vehicle.
