Video Introduction

This video is adapted from 10.3390/drones8090496

This video proposes an evaluating and mapping methodology of terrain traversability for off-road navigation of autonomous vehicles in unstructured environments. Terrain features are extracted from RGB images and 3D point clouds to create a traversal cost map. The cost map is then employed to plan safe trajectories. Bayesian generalized kernel inference is employed to assess unknown grid attributes due to the sparse raw point cloud data. A Kalman filter also creates density local elevation maps in real time by fusing multiframe information. Consequently, the terrain semantic mapping procedure considers the uncertainty of semantic segmentation and the impact of sensor noise. A Bayesian filter is used to update the surface semantic information in a probabilistic manner. Ultimately, the elevation map is utilized to extract geometric characteristics, which are then integrated with the probabilistic semantic map. This combined map is then used in conjunction with the extended motion primitive planner to plan the most effective trajectory. The experimental results demonstrate that the autonomous vehicles obtain a success rate enhancement ranging from 4.4% to 13.6% and a decrease in trajectory roughness ranging from 5.1% to 35.8% when compared with the most developed outdoor navigation algorithms. Additionally, the autonomous vehicles maintain a terrain surface selection accuracy of over 85% during the navigation process.
