Abstract
To extend autonomous navigation to unpaved and off-road scenarios, vehicles in the AutoNav program bolster a 4D perception and control architecture with area-based vision techniques. This article describes how an autonomous vehicle uses directed real-time, area-based, stereo processing to determine the vertical profile of its path.
