Abstract
This study proposes a method for detecting and tracking traversable regions in off-road conditions for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). Off-road conditions, such as rough terrain or fields, present significant challenges for UGV navigation, and detecting and tracking traversable regions is essential to ensure safe and efficient operation. Using a 3D laser scanner and range-image-based approach, a method is proposed for detecting traversable regions under off-road conditions; this is followed by a Bayesian fusion algorithm for tracking the traversable regions in consecutive frames. Our range-image-based traversable-region-detection approach enables efficient processing of point cloud data from a 3D laser scanner, allowing the identification of traversable areas that are safe for the unmanned ground vehicle to drive on. The effectiveness of the proposed method was demonstrated using real-world data collected during UGV operations on rough terrain, highlighting its potential as a solution for improving UGV navigation capabilities in challenging environments.
