Speaker: ​Dr. N. Andrew Browning Title: High speed reactive obstacle avoidance and aperture traversal using a monocular camera Abstract: Flight in cluttered indoor and outdoor environments requires effective detection of obstacles and rapid trajectory updates to ensure successful avoidance. We present a low-computation, monocular-camera based solution that rapidly assesses collision risk in the environment through the computation of Expansion Rate, and fuses this with the range and bearing to a goal location (or object), in a Steering Field to steer around obstacles while flying towards the...
