Session Overview Robotic Vision

摘要

At the DARPA Grand Challenge in October 2005, laser range finders, especially the ones manufactured by SICK, were the predominant range sensors. Does that mean that stereo sensors are dead? No. It means that laser scanners satisfied the requirements of the Grand Challenge outdoor vehicle navigation application better than stereo. Stereo sensors, on the other hand, are the sensor of choice for several other applications, such as people monitoring and human-computer interfaces, because they are passive, relatively inexpensive, have no moving parts, and provide registered range and color data.
