# A Stereo Vision System for an Autonomous Vehicle

Donald B. Gennery

*Proceedings of the Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 576-581.

## Abstract

Several techniques for use in a stereo vision system are described . These Include a stereo camera model solver, a high resolution stereo correlator for producing accurate matches with accuracy and confidence estimates, a search technique for using the correlator to produce a dense sampling of matched points for a pair of pictures, and a ground surface finder for distinguishing the ground from objects, In the resulting three-dimensional data. Possible ways of using these techniques in an autonomous vehicle designed to explore its environment are discussed . An example is given showing the detection of objects from a stereo pair of pictures. KEY WORDS: Computer vision, Stereo vision, Matching algorithm, Robots.
