Assisting vehicle guidance over terrain

摘要

A method and system for assisting with guiding a vehicle (100) over terrain is provided. The method includes training (306) at least one first classifier technique (308) using a first set of terrain classifier training data (304), such that the at least one first classifier technique is trained to output at least one probability value (314) usable to classify terrain. The first trained classifier technique (308) is then used to generate a second set (312) of terrain classifier training data. A second classifier technique (322) is trained (320) using the output of the at least one first classifier technique for the second set (312) of terrain classifier training data, and additional data (318) including an image- based representation of the terrain in the second data set, such that the second classifier technique is trained to output a probability value (326) useable to classify terrain. The system includes components to carry out the above steps.
