Autonomous vehicles have been envisioned to increase vehicle safety, primarily via the
reduction of accidents. However, their design could also affect the vehicle travel demand …

In this article, we propose a new methodology to fuse visual-inertial measurements for land
vehicles in a challenging urban environment in which a GNSS signal is not available nor …

The design and test of a radio detection and ranging (Radar) sensor signal acquisition and
processing platform is presented in this paper. The Radar sensor operates in real time and …

Fault detection (FD) plays an important role in guaranteeing system safety and reliability for
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This paper focuses on develo** an alternative …

With advances in computing power, stereo vision has become an essential part of
navigation applications. However, there may be instances wherein insufficient image data …

Inspection of defects in civil infrastructure has been a constant field of research. In the
current operational paradigm, a technician is responsible to go physically to the field in order …

There is a growing trend to use a digital camera as an instrument to measure velocity
instead of a regular sensor approach. This paper introduces a new proposal for estimating …

Mobile vehicles require accurate localization and dense map** for motion planning. In this
paper, we propose a dense map construction algorithm based on a light-and-fast stereo …

This paper proposes a low cost and low-complexity observer that can effectively and
accurately estimate in real-time the longitudinal and lateral vehicle velocities, and the road …

Recently, Lins et al. have developed an autonomous robot system for inspection of defects
in civil infrastructure. The proposed autonomous system is a unique design because it is …
