  1. 1. Performance metrics and velocity influence for point cloud registration in autonomous vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Óscar Poveda Ruiz; [2023]
    Keywords : autonomous vehicle; localization; registration; metrics; error; classification; estimation; autonomt fordon; lokalisering; registrering; mätvärden; fel; klassificering; uppskattning;

    Abstract : Autonomous vehicles are currently under study and one of the critical parts is the localization of the vehicle in the environment. Different localization methods have been studied over the years, such as the GPS sensor, commonly fused with other sensors such as the IMU. READ MORE

  3. 2. Visual-Inertial SLAM Using a Monocular Camera and Detailed Map Data

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Viktor Ekström; Ludvig Berglund; [2023]
    Keywords : SLAM; localisation; monocular camera; GTSAM; factor graphs; iSAM2;

    Abstract : The most commonly used localisation methods, such as GPS, rely on external signals to generate an estimate of the location. There is a need of systems which are independent of external signals in order to increase the robustness of the localisation capabilities. READ MORE

  4. 3. Teleoperation of an Autonomous Ground-Penetrating Radar for Non-Destructive Surveying: Design and Implementation

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Rasmus Beyer; [2023]
    Keywords : Autonomous; GPR; Robotics;

    Abstract : A lot of features that need to be scanned underground should not be disturbed, from waterlines to unmarked graves. A non-invasive way of probing underground is Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR). GPR finds differences in materials with radar waves. However, GPR is human-operated and its position is generally determined with a GPS. READ MORE

  5. 4. Autonomous Navigation: LIDAR-based SLAM, Terrain of Technology Explored

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Oscar Sanner; [2023]
    Keywords : MSc; SLAM; Pathing; ICP; FastSLAM; LIDAR; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an autonomous system capable of navigating and mapping unknown environments is developed. The solution uses a family of algorithms called SLAM or simultaneous localization and mapping, capable of mapping the environment and retaining accurate position data without external sensors such as GPS.

  6. 5. Operation and Area Restriction of Autonomous Wheel Loaders Using Colour Markings

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Jonathan Fernkvist; Inas Hamzic; [2023]
    Keywords : Colour markings; Histogram; Line-following; Machine vision; Mapping; Wheel loader;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to create a system using colour markings for Volvo’s autonomous wheel loaders which determines their restricted area and operation using sensors available on the machine. The wheel loader shall be able to interpret and distinguish different colours of spray paint, and depending on the colour, act accordingly. READ MORE
