Terrain Classification in Complex Three‐dimensional Outdoor Environments [PDF]
Journal of Field Robotics, 2014 This paper presents two techniques to detect and classify navigable terrain in complex three‐dimensional (3D) environments. The first method is a low level on‐line mechanism aimed at detecting obstacles and holes at a fast frame rate using a time‐of‐flight camera as the main sensor.
