A Novel Machine Vision Approach Applied for Autonomous Robotics Navigation

Machine vision is widely used in many applications of engineering. In this paper, a new approach of machine vision is proposed for autonomous robotics navigation. The proposed methodology uses a sequence of images to locate homologous points and rebuild the objects in the robot surroundings. Using this approach a robot is able to measure an obstacle in order to avoid a collision as well as measure its velocity in maneuver using only information provided by cameras. Experimental results validate the application of the proposed method for autonomous robots applications.
