Reliable motion estimation is a key component for autonomous vehicles. We present a
visual odometry method for ground vehicles using template matching. The method uses a …

Sparse optical flow algorithms, such as the Lucas-Kanade approach, provide more
robustness to noise than dense optical flow algorithms and are the preferred approach in …

Here we present a novel bio-inspired optic flow (OF) sensor and its application to visual
guidance and odometry on a low-cost car-like robot called BioCarBot. The minimalistic OF …

Mobile robots are more and more commonly used for everyday automated transportation
and logistics tasks; they carry goods, parts and even people. When maneuvers in cluttered …

Optical flow is a powerful application of image processing that is used in a variety of
applications, primarily in object tracking and motion estimation. In this paper, we implement …

Honeybees land on a flower [1],[2], estimate traveled distance [3], and avoid obstacles [4]
merely based on optical flow (OF) reckonings. Like OF reckoning, OF navigation used in …

Ground vehicles traversing rough unknown terrain has many applications in a range of
industries including agriculture, defence, mining, space exploration and construction. The …

To realize the self-localization of autonomous robots, methods for the 2D motion
measurement of robots are required. In this research, a self-localization system using a CCD …

Many countries have standardized vehicle license plates and the constraints of plates like
font, size, color, spacing between characters, and number of lines are strictly maintained …

Frame feature tracking, relative pixel distance, relative pixel direction measurement and
conversion of pixel distance to real world distance are the techniques used to estimate the …
