Project: Computer Vision for Intelligent Navigation Systems in Small Vehicles
Supervisor(s): Mohammed Bennamoun
Project status: withdrawn 05/05/05


Computer vision is the process of taking an image of a scene and attempting to infer three dimensional data about that scene. One application of this is in vehicle control where data can be fed to an Intelligent Navigation System (INS) to autonomously guide a vehicle in real time.
The main aim of this project is to show that a small, cost effective vehicle can be built to accurately guide itself along a path and avoid obstacles. The other aim is to complete a literature review on concepts regarding computer vision for INS's.
The main outcome of the project will be to show that an effective INS can be built to guide small vehicles. There are a number of significant practical uses for this. For example, an INS could be used to help guide wheelchairs, robotic guide dogs or industrial trolleys.
