description Autonomous mobile robot has been becoming a promising way for some human-risky tasks, suck like search and rescue, mining, planetary exploration, medical service and warehouse logistics. To assure the safety of the system, the perception ability of terrain traversability is playing a significant role by taking into the slope, obstacle and terrain classes into consideration. The goal of this research is aiming to develop a learning-based method to efficiently and precisely percept the terrain for a mobile robot in the outdoor environment. This project aims to obtain outdoor environment information directly through point cloud segmentation by deep learning method. It avoids the impact of harsh outdoor lighting conditions (too much light or too low light) on the images collected by the camera sensor. However, it is tedious to obtain the label of the point cloud dataset according to the manual labeling method. Therefore, an efficient method is also needed to obtain the label of the point cloud. This task uses the information based on image semantic segmentation as the reference standard for point cloud semantic information. The full convolutional network trained on the public dataset is used to obtain image semantic segmentation information. Then, the image semantic information is fine-tuned to obtain a segmented image with a semantic information accuracy of 95% or more. the point cloud semantic segmentation labels are obtained through the correspondence between the point cloud and image mapping. Finally, testing accuracy after training on training dataset is 88.1%.
