DETECTION APPARATUS AND THE METHOD FOR CONCEALED OBSTACLE USING UWB RADAR AND STEREO CAMERAS

摘要

PURPOSE: A concealed obstacle detection apparatus which utilizes a stereo camera and ultra-wideband radar and a method thereof are provided to detect a concealed obstacle and classifies properties of the obstacle using image based stereo camera information and intensity information of the ultra-wideband radar. CONSTITUTION: Ultra-wideband radar receives reflection intensity information of an obstacle in a front side. A radar signal processor creates an intensity based obstacle map. A stereo camera receives altitude information from the obstacle of the front side. A stereo signal processor creates an altitude based obstacle map. An obstacle classification processor detects and classifies obstacles. The obstacle classification processor transmits an obstacle classification detection result to an autonomic operation process system.
