Fast Obstacle Detection for Monocular Autonomous Mobile Robots

This paper proposes a monocular vision based obstacle detection algorithm for autonomous mobile robots. Our main algorithm consists of two stages. In the first stage, we use an inverse perspective mapping (IPM) based method for detecting small portions of an obstacle in the input image. In the secon...
