Original abstract
Autonomous mobile robots, moving without any external assistance, belong to the top research in a modern robotics. They are used as rescue robots in destroyed buildings, for neutralization of dangerous materials, and also in the space research. This paper is concerned with using of visual information for mobile robot navigation. Firstly, basic terms related to a field of mobile robotics and navigation of autonomous mobile robotic systems are put on. Next follows an analysis of visual information using for solving of navigation task, which leads to a problem of depth searching in a digital image. After that several basic methods for the third dimension determination in a two-dimensional image are introduced and possibilities of their using for mobile robot navigation are discussed.
Czech abstract
Autonomní mobilní roboty pohybující se bez externí pomoci představují vrchol výzkumu mobilní robotiky. Jsou používány jako záchranné roboty ve zřícených budovách, pro zneškodňování nebezpečných látek i při výzkumu vesmíru. Tento příspěvek se zabývá využitím vizuální informace pro navigaci mobilních robotů. Nejprve jsou uvedeny základní informace týkající se oblasti mobilní robotiky a navigace autonomních robotických systémů. Poté následuje rozbor využití vizuální informace pro řešení navigační úlohy, což směřuje k problému hledání hloubky v obraze. Dále je uvedeno několik metod pro určování třetího rozměru v dvojrozměrném obraze a jsou diskutovány možnosti jejich využití pro navigaci mobilních robotů.
