Image Analysis software for a rover prototype [Fec '12-May '12] :link:

Image analysis solution on OpenCV to detect the obstacles on the path of the Rover Navigation using Stereo Vision based disparity mapping [SAD Algorithm] and obstacle detection based on threshold.Two web-camera placed at certain distance apart helps to get the stereo image of the current environment. The images when superimposed has the depth information. Sliding SAD(sum of Absolute difference) algorithm helps to get this depth information by sliding right image over the left, in this way the 2D image can now generate the 3D depth information. This is used to detect the presence of obstacle in front of the rover.
