Detect-and-Avoid (DAA) capabilities are critical for safe operations of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). This paper introduces, AirTrack, a real-time vision-only detect and tracking framework that respects the size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints of sUAS systems. Given the low Signal-to-Noise…
Kinematics-based collision detection is important for robot motion planning in unstructured terrain. Especially, planetary rovers require such capability as a single collision may lead to the termination of a mission. For onboard computation, typical numeric approaches are unsuitable as they are com…
Stereo vision is commonly used for local obstacle avoidance of autonomous mobile robots: stereo images are first processed to yield a dense 3D reconstruction of the observed scene, which is then used for navigation planning. Such an approach, which we term Sequential Perception and Planning (SPP), r…
