A study on the DGPS data errors correction through real-time coordinates conversion using the vision system

비젼 시스템을 이용한 DGPS 데이터 보정에 관한 연구

This paper describes a navigation system for an autonomous vehicle in outdoor environments. The vehicle uses vision system to detect coordinates and DGPS information to determine the vehicles initial position and orientation. The vision system detects coordinates in the environment by referring to an environment model. As the vehicle moves, it estimates its position by conventional DGPS data, and matches up the coordinates with the environment model in order to reduce the error in the vehicles position estimate. The vehicles initial position and orientation are calculated from the coordinate values of the first and second locations, which are acquired by DGPS. Subsequent orientations and positions are derived. Experimental results in real environments have showed the effectiveness of our proposed navigation methods and real-time methods.
