DTIC ADA188940: Terrain Classification from Digital Elevation

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Over the past few decades man has concentrated considerable effort in deriving algorithms that can classify terrain in a manner similar to the human visual system. If an implementable algorithm were obtained, man could use this algorithm to add vision to autonomous land vehicles. The scope of this study is to develop a database from digital elevation data representative of terrain an autonomous land vehicle would traverse and from this database use a two- dimensional algorithm to classify the terrain represented by that data. Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Robotics
