Abstract
Ever since the advent of computers, they has proven themselves extremely useful for automating routine parts of human life. With improvements in computer vision techniques, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) are a hot topic of research. In order to build such a system, one of the main objectives is to locate and identify things present in its surroundings. Obstacle Extraction is one such field which deals with detection of obstacles in front of it. In this project, an obstacle extraction system is built, by first extracting the region of interest, the road. This region of interest is then merged with the foreground obtained from the background modeling. Two different background modeling techniques are implemented, one based on GMM, and the other based on Bayesian color estimation. Further, a lane detection system has been implemented, which helps in detecting the current lane that the UGV is moving in. This is implemented based on two techniques, one based on Hough transform and the other based on Contours. The second method was also extended to determine the direction of the curve ahead of the vehicle.
