Physical Threshold Detection
In human environments, windows and doors represent thresholds between spaces. This project deals with designing a system to robustly detect windows/doors/thresholds that a quadrotor could fly through, using cameras and range sensors.
In human environments, windows and doors represent thresholds between spaces. For a robot exploring an unknown environment, these portals offer new frontiers, but they can be challenging for a robot to safely traverse. This project deals with designing a system to robustly detect windows/doors/thresholds that a quadrotor could fly through, using cameras and range sensors. This system would need to detect these portals via appearance and geometry, and evaluate the feasibility of traversal with a very low false-positive rate using machine learning techniques and geometric constraints. The ultimate goal is to deploy this system on a quadrotor for a live demo.
