In conventional methods for car navigational path detection using Hough transform, navigational path deviation of a car is decided in car navigational images with simple background. But in case of car navigational images having complex background with obstacles on the road, shadows, other cars, and so on, it is very difficult to detect navigational path because these obstacles obstruct correct detection of car navigational path. In this paper, I proposed an effective navigational path detection method having better performance than conventional navigational path detection methods using Hough transform only, and fuzzy binarization method and Canny mask are applied in the proposed method for the better performance. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, I experimented with 20 car navigational images and verified the proposed method is more effective for detection of navigational path.

We propose a method of using the three dimensional characteristic information to classify the front environment in travelling by using the images captured by a CCD camera equipped on a mobile robot. So, this paper proposes the method of deciding the travelling direction of a mobile robot with using input images based upon the suggested algorithm by preprocessing, and verified the validity of the image information which are detected as obstacles by the analysis through neural network.

Recently, many researches for autonomous mobile system have been proposed, which can recognize surrounded environment and navigate to destination without outside intervention. The basic sufficient condition for the autonomous mobile system is to navigate to destination safely without accident. In this paper, we propose a path planning method in local region for safe navigation of autonomous system through evaluation of the road surface distortion(damaged/deformed road, unpaved road, obstacle and etc.). We use laser distance sensor to get the information on the road surface distortion and apply image binalization method to evaluate safe region in the detected local region. We show the validity of the proposed method through the computer simulation based on the artificial local road map.

본 논문은 실시간 차선 인식을 기반으로 한 자율주행 알고리즘을 제안한다. 자율주행 알고리즘은 크게 차선 인식과 의사결정으로 구분된다. 차선 인식 부분에서는 직관적인 판단을 위해 버드 아이 뷰로 영상데이터를 변환하여 안정적 차선 인식을 위하여 차선 영역을 추출하고 노이즈를 제거하는 전처리과정을 거친다. 이렇게 처리된 영상에서 Hough 변환을 통하여 차선을 검출한다. 의사결정 부분에서는 검출된 차선과 현재 위치를 기반으로 진행할 경로를 결정한다.

In this study, it is intended to provide a slip detector is an important function in the research on the slip control can be addressed uncontrollably path withdrawal might during driving of the power wheelchair, slip phenomenon occurs. By detecting and electric wheelchairs, the state of the motor during running, the detection of the slip, slip detection information calculated using an encoder that is connected to the left and right motor with six-axis IMU sensor for the electric wheelchair using an algorithm to calculate the slip ratio. Slip rate calculated in this way is used as control variable for improving the safety of the electric wheelchair. It was confirmed from the slip phenomenon of the path the proposed experiments slim detector proposed in this study. The maximum slip ratio detection zone during the experiment, can occur during turning of the electric wheelchair has been confirmed.

This paper deals with the method of using the three dimensional characteristic information to classify the front environment in travelling by using the images captured by a CCD camera equipped on a mobile robot. The images detected by the three dimensional characteristic information is divided into the part of obstacles, the part of corners, and th part of doorways in a corridor. In designing the travelling path of a mobile robot, these three situations are used as an important information in the obstacle avoidance and optimal path computing. So, this paper proposes the method of deciding the travelling direction of a mobile robot with using input images based upon the suggested algorithm by preprocessing, and verified the validity of the image information which are detected as obstacles by the analysis through neural network.

In this paper, a navigation technology of an unmanned vehicle using relative localization and magnetic guidance is proposed. Magnetic guidance system had been developed as a robust autonomous driving technology as long as magnetic fields on the path are detected. Otherwise, if magnetic fields were not detected due to some reasons, the vehicle could not drive. Therefore, in order to overcome the drawback, we propose that relative localization would be combined to magnetic guidance system. To validate the usefulness of the proposed method, a robotic vehicle was set up with the magnetic guidance system and the relative localization. In addition, the unmanned driving test was realized on the road without the magnetic fields so that the proposed method is verified by the experiment.

Nowadays with advancement in technology and aging society, the number of disabled citizens is increasing. The disabled citizens always need a caretaker for daily life routines especially for mobility. In future, the need is considered to increase more. To reduce the burden from the disabled, various devices for healthcare are introduced using computer technology. The power wheelchair is an important and convenient mobility device. The demand of power wheelchair is increasing for assistance in mobility. In this paper we proposed a robotic wheelchair for mobility aid to reduce the burden from the disabled. The main issue in an autonomous wheelchair is the automatic detection and avoidance of obstacles and going to the pre-designated place. The proposed algorithm detects the obstacles and avoids them to drive the wheelchair to the desired place safely. By this way, the disabled will not always have to worry about paying deep attention to the surroundings and his path.

자율주행 경진대회에서 학생들의 장애물 후에 경로를 생성 능력을 검정하는 라바콘 추종 종목은 중요한 항목 중의 하나이다. 라바콘의 위치를 알기 위해서는 라이다 센서가 필요하다. 실내의 경우 저가의 2D 라이다 센서를 사용하여 콘의 위치 검출이 가능하지만, 실외의 경우에는 고가의 3D 라이다 센서 또는 고가의 3차원 카메라가 필요하다. 이러한 고가의 기자재는 실습의 대중화에 걸림돌이 되고 있으므로, 1개의 카메라와 인공지능을 이용한 라이다 콘의 검출하는 방법을 개발하였고, 이를 활용하여 경로 생성 및 제어를 수행하였다. 그 결과 0.4m 이내의 정밀도로 콘의 위치 추정과 주행을 성공적으로 수행하였다.
