Vision-based open loop control strategy for autonomous lane navigation

Abstract

This paper describes a new practical autonomous lane navigation strategy for mobile robot that called ""Vision-based open loop control navigation"" strategy. The proposed ""Vision-basd open loop control navigation"" consists of two-phase of navigation process. In the first-phase, the mobile robot acquires image sequences and complete image processing iteration until enough confident level to generate appropriate path. In the subsequent, the mobile robot navigates based on appropriate path by applying open loop control manner. Separation of two-phase process can achieve reliable navigation in various types of outdoor environments. The validity of proposed strategy can be examined by actual experiments.
