This paper focuses on the latest technology trends for navigating in difficult urban, indoor, and underground environments where typical Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers do not function. The latest alternative navigation (Alt-Nav) technologies based on electro-optical techniques are described. These techniques extract features from electro…

This work describes a rich set of navigation data that has been collected by AFRL and an object-oriented framework that makes both the data and relevant processing algorithms available to the research community. Both aerial and ground vehicle platforms were employed, exposing a single sensor suite to a variety of conditions relevant to civil and mi..

This paper discusses our research efforts in the area of integrated estimation and control of autonomous vehicles for vision-aided inertial navigation systems (INS) in the absence of globally defined markers (such as Global Positioning System (GPS) or known features). Camera-aided inertial navigation is effectively a bearings-only simultaneous loca…

The integration of vision sensors and inertial navigation system (INS) can enable precision navigation capabilities in the absence of GPS. Inspired from biological systems, a multi-aperture vision processing system allows for accurate self-motion (egomotion) estimation by observing optical flow across all apertures. The multi-aperture approach is p…

An innovative approach for navigation in non-GPS environment is presented based on all source adaptive fusion of any available information encompassing passive imaging data, digital elevation terrain data, IMU/GPS, altimeters, and star tracker. The approach provides continuous navigation through non-GPS environment and yields an improved navigation…
Three-Dimensional Laser Radar Recognition Approaches

Three-dimensional laser radars measure the geometric shape of objects. The shape of an object is a geometric quality that is more intuitively understood than intensity-based sensors, and consequently laser radars are easier to interpret. While the shape contains more salient (and less variable) information, the computational difficulties are simila…
