  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a plane detection algorithm from stereo camera depth data, using it to find the ground plane. The proposed algorithm ran at 30 frames per second and can successfully detect a ground plane. A simple PID wheelchair controller is implemented to correct for any heading adjustment if required based on ground plane geometries with respect to the wall.
